The Jackets have spent eighteen years doing it the right way — constant touring, steady releases, zero compromise. Formed in Switzerland in 2008 by Jackie Brutsche (vocals, guitar) and drummer Chris Rosales, they've built one of Europe's most respected Garage, Punk, and Psychedelic Rock catalogues, track by track, city by city. "Essentials" on Chaputa! Records is exactly what the title promises: a focused selection spanning their albums from 2012 to 2024, chosen for how well each track represents the band — not for nostalgia. Plus two brand new recordings — "The Question" and "Rock & Roll Band" — made specifically for this release. Released to coincide with their first Australia and New Zealand tour. The perfect entry point and the ideal companion for anyone already in. New vinyl. Available now at Copasetic Mailorder.
