JERKSTORE. has teamed up with Melbourne-based singer/rapper/producer r.em.edy & producer JakeOnKeys (prod – Ryland Rose) for their first release of 2021 – “Eyes Closed (ft r.em.edy)”. A mix of throwback 90s pop and modern R&B vibes, the track showcases the trademark smooth flows of the Jerks on the verses, with r.em.edy offering her unmistakable vocals on the chorus and bridge.
WHO ARE JERKSTORE?
JERKSTORE. are Clue (Regional Victoria – Wodonga), Joey Maker (Sydney), and Connor Jones (Melbourne). After crossing paths in their solo careers, the group was formed in 2019 opting to work together entirely via the internet despite the distance between them.
While the boys all boast a hip-hop background, JERKSTORE.’s genre-bending discography is diverse, with no two tracks sounding alike and their songs often dipping into pop, future bass, funk, modern R&B and everywhere in between.
JERKSTORE. released their first EP and two follow up singles in 2019, receiving play across both Triple J and Triple J Unearthed. With only a couple of follow up tracks released in 2020, the boys lined up their ducks in a row for a big 2021. With new singles dropping monthly for the entire year, an EP in Q1 & an album in Q3, the Jerks will make sure you can’t miss them. No strangers to performing among the best, the Jerks having previously supported the likes of Seth Sentry, Briggs, Spit Syndicate, PEZ, Esoterik, Obie Trice, Urthboy, Butterfingers and more, and plan on bringing that signature performance to the stage for a debut headline tour in 2021.
