The first box that the artist from West London VC Pines<\/strong> checked as we played his new single “Smoke Without Fire” out today (February 3rd, 2021) was his distinct vocal timbre and tone. A unique projection of nuances and arrangements that we couldn’t help but fail to replicate miserably as I listened on. Beyond the vocal abilities, VC Pines<\/strong> or Jack Mercer on street-level does build on songwriting prowess a creative thirst that is showcased here in full.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When times are good and open for touring, VC Pines<\/strong> likes to travel with a 7-piece band to give that special live performance only bands can give. Taking cues from his musical upbringing and his inclination for Motown and punk\/post-punk sounds that undoubtedly poke through on “Smoke Without Fire”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
