Hailing from south-west Iceland the band Kaleo formed in 2012 with very handsome lead vocalist JJ Julius Son’s growling Rock N Roll vocals giving the 4 piece band.
In a interview with Noisey.com singer JJ describes where the album title came from and the concept of their – ” Noisey – Your album A/B, the first five songs are very rock-oriented where as the last five songs are very slowed down, acoustic and I wasn’t sure if this had any …
JJ – Yeah, exactly. That’s the concept, that’s my concept for why I call it A/B. I think of it as a vinyl back in the day when you had an A side and a B side.
Noisey – That’s exactly what I thought with the title and the way the songs are in order.
JJ- We have very diverse songs and I write very different kinds of music and people label it, you know into genres and whatnot, but it was kind of a way to show both sides and show the diversity in that way and I came up with that concept A/B just like you said, man. At first, the A side is pretty much rock and roll-blues I would say and the B side is more of the ballads, more of the folk stuff.
