Jacob & The Dazey Chain - Topic

Jacob & the Dazey Chain is the vision of 22-year-old singer, songwriter, and guitarist Jacob Reese Thornton. Based in Nashville, the project blends the anthemic swagger of Brit-pop with a sharp alternative-rock edge, channeling influences like Oasis, The Strokes, Green Day, and The Killers into a sound that feels both nostalgic and boldly their own.

Since forming in 2019, they’ve cut their teeth everywhere from sweaty club stages to major festivals—including a standout appearance at Eric Clapton’s Crossroads Guitar Festival. In 2024, J&DC completed their first East Coast U.S. and U.K. club tour, highlighted by a sold-out show in Miami and headline performances in London and Manchester. Their debut album, DON’T LOOK AWAY!, has earned over 900,000 Spotify streams and landed on six Apple Music editorial playlists, marking the band as one of the most exciting young rock acts to watch.

In 2025, Jacob signed with East Iris Records, a division of Universal Music Group, and is preparing to release new music soon. The upcoming EP—produced by Tone Def (Green Day, Briston Maroney) and recorded at East Iris Studios in Nashville—is their most explosive, cinematic, and self-assured.
