"The quartet blend garage rock and power-pop at its most infectious with fuzzy guitars, bouncy rhythms, and surfy melodies." [Post-Trash]

"It’s a mix of lo-fi melodies that charm you the deeper into the album you get, and, as A Beeef CD proves, wins you over in a matter of minutes." [Dig Boston]

"Allston's only band called Beeef." [Beeef]

Jakals are a Somerville-based indie folk band made up of Katie Solomon (vocals), Jack Lewis (guitar), Zach Wulderk (bass), Bredon Jones (guitar) and Teryn Citino (drums). They are a bold and refreshing divergence from traditional New England folk acts, “a phenomenal newcomer on the scene that is definitely one to watch in the coming year” (Music Box Pete). Combining the vulnerability and intimacy of traditional folk with the grit of indie music, Jakals’ music explores deeply personal, often painful ideas and experiences.
