Apricot-coloured vinyl. Sometimes they come back, just when you least expect it. Anyone who has loved rock music over the last decade or so will be familiar with David Jakes and Jack Wrench.

Jakes was the broodingly intense singer with Lonely The Brave; a complex character blessed with a once-in-a-generation voice.

And Wrench was the explosive drummer with Arcane Roots, a man equally at home with math-rock complexity and sheer rock power.

When Jakes left Lonely The Brave for mental health reasons in 2018 and Arcane Roots split later the same year, their musical futures looked uncertain, to say the least.

Certainly, few would have expected to see Jakes, a man uneasy with the spotlight that always seeks out frontmen, back on stage.

But, here and now in 2024, these two exceptional talents have been united in Interlaker, who might just be the sensational rock band you've been waiting for since they walked away from their former projects.

Jakes and Wrench - who only knew each other vaguely from their previous bands - brokered their new partnership on Instagram; exchanging casual messages, discovering a mutual love of REM and Pearl Jam, before progressing to swapping demos and song ideas, eventually writing and recording their brilliant debut album entirely online.

They met in person once towards the end of the process, Jakes says, just to "make sure we got on well together, and it was all good - otherwise it would have been awkward!"
