From The Jackets HQ...
Chris Stapp built this incredible puppet machine to promote our show in Auckland, New Zealand, back in March — and then took it even further, turning it into a full-length music video as a one-shot puppet animation. Wild, handmade, hypnotic, and totally unique. Huge thanks to Chris and the whole team for this amazing work!

Here's the scoop from Chaputa! Records...
Swiss garage punk sensations The Jackets are back with their highly anticipated new album, “Intuition”, available from October 18th on Chaputa! Records. Since forming in 2007 in Bern, The Jackets have been a driving force in the garage rock scene, known for their high-energy performances, raw sound, and infectious melodies. The band, featuring Jackie Brutsche (aka Jack Torera) on vocals and guitar, Chris Rosales on drums, and Samuel Schmidiger on bass, delivers a gritty mix of 60s garage rock, punk, and psychedelic influences.
The Jackets have garnered widespread acclaim for their music and electrifying live shows. Their previous albums have been celebrated, with “Shadows of Sound” praised by Shindig! magazine as a “perfect example of how modern garage-punk should sound,” and “Queen of the Pill” described by Louder Than War as “a blistering, fuzz-filled ride.” Their live performances are often highlighted for their “pure energy and charisma,” bringing the spirit of ’60s garage rock into the modern era.
“Intuition” continues this legacy with 10 tracks that showcase The Jackets’ signature raw power and infectious hooks. The album was recorded by Jim Diamond at Strawberry Studios in Bern, mixed by Diamond, and mastered by Adi Flück at Centraldubs. The striking cover art by Olaf Jens complement the band’s vibrant and surreal aesthetic.
The Jackets have built their reputation through explosive live shows across Europe, North America, and beyond, performing at many renowned festivals and venues. With their upcoming tours in Japan and the USA, The Jackets are set to bring “Intuition” to fans worldwide. Don’t miss your chance to experience one of the most electrifying bands in the garage punk scene today!
