Notes from Producer Jake Petrowski:

Upon playing and singing through the song "Just Noise," I thought the harmony and melody would lend quite well to a Ska/Reggae feel. The sheet music for this particular track specified it was to be played "swing" and I thought, "How about ska swing?" I had played in a ska band, The Fundamentals, the previous couple of years so I decided to arrange the track with them in mind. My direct inspiration for the rhythm of this track came from a song called "Switchblade to Soul" by Chris Murray, a ska legend from Toronto. The Fundamentals were his touring band in the summer of 2012 and his style definitely influenced the band's music since. Our version of Beck's song features the hard driving guitar rhythm and gritty vocals of Reg McLean. I do hope you enjoy "Just Noise".
