A few years ago I randomly decided I was going to move to Philadelphia because I’m a crazy person. It was an ill-advised decision and I’m glad it never happened. Regardless, while on my search for roommates, I met a guy named Will Patrick Jackson. He didn’t end up moving to Philly either, but meeting him had a lasting positive impact on my life. It was around that time that he was starting a solo project that he wanted to call Loyalty to Me. After a few different line-ups for live shows, Will was able to find the perfect band mates, and Loyalty to Me was a solo project no more. The band now consists of Will Patrick Jackson, Devin McGuire, Ryan Keller, James Conrad, and Kevin Castro.
After releasing a few singles in 2018 and 2019, Loyalty finally released their debut EP, Clash // Coexist, this past May. I am honestly so proud of how far this band has come in such a short period of time. Every single song on the release is an earworm that hits straight to the heart. The production is crisp, and they have the unique added flair of having multiple different singers. My personal favorite track has been my favorite of theirs for a long time now. It’s called Layover In London. I honestly don’t know the subject matter of the song because I don’t know what any song’s about, but it just makes me smile. The chorus is extremely catchy and uplifting with just an explosion of “ooh’s.” I also love hearing all of their different voices working together to form a whole masterpiece. Layover in London isn’t the only track you should listen to, though. I think there is truly a Loyalty to Me track for everyone; that one just happens to be the one for me. Loyalty to Me have a unique sound that I like to describe as, “if pop punk was actually good.” They write fun guitar music that’s catchy and relatable, but are still oozing with talent. I truly believe that if they can keep up the good work, they can be the real deal and bring guitar music back to the radio. The boys in Loyalty to Me make proud every day and it’s an honor to call them my friends. Be sure to head to loyaltytome.com to check out Clash // Coexist and buy some merch!
