Impulse – a sudden pushing or driving force, an accelerated desire to act and a fitting name for Jack’s Fusion’s debut EP.

The choice of the EP title, the band explains, was purely due to its reflection of the band’s energy and spirit, comparable, perhaps, to an adrenaline rush.

Fronted by Emma Grech on vocals, with Luke Deguara and Jacob Spiteri on guitar, bassist Kurt Bezzina and drummer Jean-Luc Camilleri, Jack’s Fusion formed in 2014 and has been writing original material ever since. “Music is our passion and expressing ourselves through music is very important especially through writing and composing,” says Jean-Luc. “This EP is a landmark step for us, as it encompasses all the hard work, ideas and phases we’ve been going  through personally and as a band.”

The first original song released by the band was Electric, a song carrying the same concept of undying energy. “In every live gig we play, we try as much as possible to give a memorable performance and to leave everyone in the audience with the same energy which we want to transmit through our music,” adds Emma.

Plans for the EP have been brewing for over a year. Recorded at Jubox Studios, the six-track EP contains five new original songs, including the single Electric. An EP typically has around five songs, but the band was adamant on adding an extra song and exceeding expectations, as was the same line of thought held throughout planning for the launch itself.

“As our first major project as a band, we wanted to make both the EP and the launch itself as big as we could possibly manage. It’s been a hectic couple of months in preparation but we’re positive it will be worth it,” says Kurt.

The EP was launched with what the band describes as a concert, a celebration of all the work put into the process itself. The event was held at the Salesian Theatre, the place where Jack’s Fusion had its first formal performance as a band, making the choice of venue not only significant, but sizeable enough to be able to host a larger audience. On the night, the band was joined by other musicians, as well as guest band Pyramid Suns.
