Laughing Cats 'Jerk'

The world is ready for new music that strikes a perfect balance between nostalgia and innovation, and Laughing Cats’ single ‘Jerk’ does just that. The vibrant new duo, consisting of California’s Tony Fredianelli and England’s Lauren Schiff (known in some circles as Lauren McCord), creates an electrifying sonic landscape that transcends typical genre boundaries. ‘Jerk’ is an infectious pop-rock anthem that explores the complexities of love with a fresh energy that will have you humming along.

Fredianelli, best known for his iconic guitar work in Third Eye Blind, brings a certain edge to ‘Jerk’ with catchy, punchy riffs that harken back to his rock roots, yet the track never feels like a simple throwback. Schiff’s theatrical background and compelling vocal style infuse the song with depth, as she weaves a captivating narrative about a love gone awry, delivered with the intensity of a stage performance.

What makes ‘Jerk’ so exhilarating is the blend of eras that the duo effortlessly combines. You can hear echoes of ’90s alternative rock and ’80s synth-pop in the melody, while the track still feels undeniably modern. The result is a sound that feels both timeless and progressive, inviting listeners into a world of emotional complexity with an upbeat groove. ‘Jerk’ stands as a perfect introduction to the duo’s forthcoming debut album, Funny Money, promising an exciting ride through diverse musical landscapes.

This track proves Laughing Cats are not just a band to watch—they’re a band to feel. Full of fire and passion, ‘Jerk’ sets the stage for what’s sure to be a standout debut.
