Girl at the Rock Shows

Sometimes when you hear a song, it hits you, and it hits you hard. Maybe you feel like the words are directed to you or maybe it’s a certain string of notes and the way they hit deep down into your soul. Regardless, we all have those certain songs that, out of nowhere, capture your heart and soul. That’s what happened the first time I heard “Jean Drive” from Shutter.

As the band puts it, “”Jean Drive” is a nostalgic anthem that captures the essence of youthful rebellion and the bittersweet moments of growing up”. Honestly, I thought that was just a lot of talk. I mean, how can you capture the true essence of youthful rebellion while also paying homage to the bittersweet moments of growing up? Although I have no clue how they did it, Shutter nailed all of that and then some. Their signature blend of emo and slightly heavier influences reign supreme throughout this song. That’s where this undeniable sense of energy comes from but also where the sensitivity seems to seep out of. On top of it all, “Jean Drive” is one of those songs that, if you close your eyes while listening to it, you will surely “see” the band performing. There’s just something so cathartic about this song and, although Shutter is from New Jersey and I really don’t know when or if I’ll ever get a chance to see them live, I love that I can just close my eyes while blaring “Jean Drive” and see what it may be like (spoiler alert: it’s perfect).
