  • It's easy to spot the hard-hitting drums, ever-present bass-lines, and nostalgic background vocals of New Men Old Boys. In addition to Hustle's very stylized production, the most endearing element of this EP is the true grit of Jake Hill's prodding voice. But considering the perspective of words strung together with experience and craftsmanship, ultimately, the weight of the EP is in the lyrics. These songs were inspired by a range of concepts; from the fear of love had and lost, to the celebration of a driving independence. In the end, these two artists have created a music collection that is neither Jake Hill nor Charley Hustle but Jay Kill & The Hustle Standard.

    Jake Hill is a singer/songwriter from Plymouth, Massachusetts, from across the country, and from down the street. He has miles on his voice, blisters on his fingers, and stories to tell. Though born and raised in America’s Hometown, it was the American Southwest where he found himself. Then he came home. Jake has released four full-length LP’s and a handful of EP’s, and has performed from Boston to Austin in front of audiences as intimate as a couple of bottle-throwing drunks and as rowdy as thousands of fancy people doing fancy things.
