The album Seconds Away From Salvation was reviewed on British rock magazine Black Velvet getting 4/5 "hearts". You can also find the review on issue no. 64.
THE JADE
SECONDS AWAY FROM SALVATION
(NORTH & SOUTH)
"Having already scored a Top ten single in their native Finland, alt rockers The Jade are looking to take the UK by storm too, a country that has clearly influenced their music greatly.
Their sound recalls the sound of the 1980´s English rock before the Brit Pop movement changed English music forever, with emphasis on pop melodies and crunchy guitars held together by singer Wille Rosen´s Bowie-esque vocals.
Single, Ýesterday´s Rain is catchy and commercial enough to be a hit but the album is stronger when it leans to heavier side like ´Before the Dawn´ or ´Kings´s Cross´ which has a great shouting open and is edgier and darker than the rest of their pop infused material.
Despite its faults though, the album is a sterling effort, well produced and more distinctive than most European rock bands and very catchy.
Be prepared to be singing along to one of these tracks very soon"
4/5
