Raw and edgy vocals combined with muscular guitar riffs and spectacular lyrics make this album a must have for all fans of the alternative rock genre. Hard hitting and relevant this album explores the intricacies of life, love and loss through the eyes of Indigenous and Non-Indigenous Australians. Jagit’s musical style could best be described as alternative rock combining elements of grunge, punk and a hip R&B groove to produce a new and unique sound.
