jacSharp hits Number One on 5fm!
Capetonian band jacSharp received news last week that their debut single Saving Grace off their recently released Album – Technicolour, had smashed the popular 5fm chart in just 3 weeks! Entering the chart at Number 23, Saving Grace climbed dramatically to the top spot last week pushing jacSharp into the forefront of South African music.
The album – available online at Rhythm Records.co.za, has already done remarkably well on the national stations – with 3 singles currently being played by Highveld Fm, GoodHope Fm and Heart Fm, 5Fm and all of the campus stations. “Its an unprecedented number of singles for a debut album to have charted in the local market.”
“We’re ecstatic to see the album doing so well and of course our first Number One with Saving Grace is just the first step in the direction we’re heading!” says Ben Peters, drummer for jacSharp.
The group, who have been making music since 2005 only launched their brand to the public in 2008 and have subsequently made a significant impact both locally and internationally. Having won the Global Hewlett Packard Launch your Band competition last year – they have toured Germany, France and the UK and have an extensive tour of the USA planned for October of this year.
“Its our vision and goal to imprint our music on the world,” states Juliet Harding – Lead Singer. “we have the burning desire to create a successful business of our band and we’re taking every step to achieve that!”
From strength to strength it seems jacSharp is on a rollercoaster ride of success. This is certainly a band to watch out for.
