Jump Back, a Jersey Shore staple, has dropped “Misunderstood,” their new album blending blues and rock. This ten-song collection, produced with Surefire Recording Studios, features Jack Piccolomini’s “Stonesy” guitar, Wayne Kessler’s evocative harp and vocals, and John Dammacco’s potent bass, all contributing to the band’s tight, evolving sound. “Misunderstood” is a fresh and compelling display of Jump Back’s unique artistry.
