The Story 

Shades of Jade is the result of the long time creative partnership by vocalist Jade Barnett and guitarist/composer Mat Jones. Jade and Mat met at University of Westminster where they both studied an undergraduate degree in music. It wasn’t until their second year of college, that they actually crossed paths when they were placed in the same group for their performance module.  

It was apparent from the beginning that the two had a knack for coming up with great vocal lines and strong rhythm and harmony to support. They continued working together till the end of their degree as the partnership proved to be successful. After Westminster, Jade took time off to go travelling while Mat continued his music education at postgraduate level at Goldsmiths. It wasn’t until 2010 when they picked up where they left off with a lot of work to do! It was agreed that a clear direction was needed to ensure the correct sound to compliment Jade’s impressive vocal skills and to also show the real, raw character to the songs. By combining Jade’s background in Soul and Jazz and Mat’s upbringing on the electric guitar the new soundscape of Soul Rock had emerged. 

What the Press are Saying:

AltSounds – “In just five songs Shade of Jade manage to do what many most bands still haven’t done off the back of two or three albums; prove their credentials to the world and get you really excited about the diversity and creativity in music away from the mainstream.”

Ring Master Review – “Packed with well crafted soulful songs and soaring emotive vocals that swell and immerse the ear in beauty, Her Soul the debut EP from UK rock band Shades of Jade leaves one in no doubt that the London based quintet are walking the precipice of big things.”

The Whiteboard Project – “Her Soul is powerful and filled with promise.”

The Mag – “This band have got talent. The music is very slick and the lead vocal is very strong.”

South Wales is famed for generating iconic music legends, from Shirley Bassey to Tom Jones, and for all lovers of pop punk we have Lost Prophets and Kids in Glass Houses. It’s safe to say that the aforementioned artists are just the tip of the iceberg from the generations of talent that have flown effortlessly out of Wales. Emerging from this sea of talent is Man of the Hour, a powerful punk pop band that’s sure to make waves this year.

Man of the Hour is a ‘pop-punk band with teeth’ from deep in the Welsh Valleys that experiment with elements of pop-punk from the various reincarnations of the genre over the years. Some influences come from the early days of Blink 182 and New Found Glory to the more recent influences of Four Year Strong and Set Your Goals. Man Of The Hour bring unique, original combinations of guitar rhythms and soaring, addictive melodies to an often crowded genre, and set out to sound like nothing you’ve ever heard before, whilst at the same time resembling a long lost friend.

Man of the Hour have had a tremendous amount of airplay from some of the UK’s most listened to stations, such as Radio 1, Amazing Radio and Nation Radio. The guys have been noted as one of the best up and coming acts to emerge from Wales in 2012, so get ready for the take over.
