JAL (Serbia)

The band JAL was created in Novi Sad in 2009. Vedran Ferizović is the initiator of the idea, the singer, songwriter and composer of most of the songs, while the band signs all the arrangements.

JAL brings together musicians of different performing styles and affinities, therefore their music cannot be tamed by only one of the well-known directions of rock and roll. 

Most of their creativity relies on ska/reggae forms and rhythms. Their musical styles that expand the possibilities of alternative music in their mutual contact are also rock, blues, folk, jazz, punk.

The current sound image of the band consists of: drums, bass, rhythm guitar, solo guitar and a brass section that is variable according to the needs of the song. The lyrics deal with social, urban-philosophical and love topics using irony, poetry, rhyme, simile, jokes, and most of all wordplay, which is one of the main features of this group, starting with the band’s name itself. 

JAL is a band that supports the multi-layered nature of rock and roll and thus keeps up with the modern era, but still, their faith and ideals are largely rooted in bygone times and old values.
