Felix Jones – Afterworld


A three piece rock band from Chicago Illinois, Felix Jones specialise in a happy go lucky rock sound that is underpinned by a poppy punk feel and some nice eclectic guitar overtures. Afterworld is as such a great showcase of their sound: catchy, light hearted and fun. It also demonstrates their best asset: finely crafted and well executed close vocal harmonies.
