Interlaker is a brand new duo that is David Jakes, formerly of Lonely The Brave and Jack Wrench, formerly of Arcane Roots.
Jakes was the commanding voice behind the Lonely The Brave sound. A master of melody, his lyrical talents enthralled audiences across Europe from supporting Neil Young in Belgium, to arenas with Biffy Clyro, to the main stage at Reading and Leeds festival.
Jakes has always been uncomfortable with being the centre of attention; when playing live he would stand at the back of the stage, side on, barely saying a word to the audience between songs. A total juxtaposition to the anthemic tunes he wrote – songs that felt like they could move mountains.
As Lonely The Brave grew in reputation and audience, so did Jakes’ discomfort with attention and adoration. He left the band in March 2018.
Fast forward five years and Jakes is back with Interlaker, a new musical project, with a new musical partner, Jack Wrench of Arcane Roots. Wrench, a skilled drummer, but also a multi-instrumentalist, became the perfect partner for Jakes.
