Track of the Day: Weight of the Wave by Jacob Koopman

Jacob’s Bali roots provides him with an indie pop style but his early influences such as Dave Grohl and Chris Cornell give an edge to his island vibe. The Singer/Songwriter started playing drums at 9 years old. Self taught he also plays the guitar and bass. Playing a mixture of original and cover music Jacob can be found playing venues around Ireland along with paying his dues by busking. 


Having previously played Castlepalooza and Electric Picnic with l bands, in 2016 he commenced his solo career realising his debut solo EP 'Blindfold'. His playlist reflects his eclectic style from Radiohead to Hozier, Incubus to Depeche Mode and peppers these throughout his performances. 


His latest release 'Weight of the Wave' reflects his eclectic style. With it's ear-worm lyrics and memorable melody, it's a banger!
