The Static Jacks have quite a knack for combining melodic pop and grimy garage rock into one cohesive jello mold. 'If You're Young,' the band's latest record, showcases tremendous guitar riffs while still leaving room for intimate lyric play and melancholic chord structures.

The Jacks' new single, 'Drano-Ears,' is the perfect descriptor for this generation's ambivalence. Teetering between heavy guitar tones and sunshine-fueled indie rock, these New Jersey guitar slingers paint a catchy image of Gen Y's overall manic state.

The accompanying video features the four-piece on the road. Shot in simplistic black and white, we watch the Static Jacks get their rock on while touring all over the world.

"What you see from about 1:52 on for the rest of the video is an attack by a local legend who seems to go by the name Honey-Bee," guitarist Henry Kaye tells Spinner. "Apparently she lives near the venue we played, and came in and attacked our poor, poor Nick Brennan. She just wanted to have a good time, I guess. She tried to have a go at me as well but I wasn't having it."

Check out the spritely video for 'Drano-Ears' below. The Static Jacks' 'If You're Young' is out now via Fearless Records.
