Jack Wyles is a California-based composer and recording artist who specializes in music for Film, TV, Video Games, and Commercials. A professional sax and bass player, he studied bass and song arrangement with the late Jazz icon Jaco Pastorius, and much of what he learned from Jaco shines through in his hip Jazz and Funk tunes. Jack also writes Dramatic, Orchestral, and World tracks, and he has written soundtrack music for several independent movie releases, including the internationally-released global warming documentary "Cool It" and "Celebrating Kaiser's Black History."
Jack Wyles was a co-leader of the Alternative Rock band The Source in the 1980's, which put 2 EPs in the top 20 of the CMJ National college charts and was part of the Akron Sound that included heavy weights Devo and Chrissy Hynde. His next band, IN THE POCKET!, was a Jazz Fusion band from Oakland, California, whose album LADIES AND GENTLEMEN PRESENTING IN THE POCKET! was nominated for consideration by the Grammy® committee.
A really solid rock song, done in the style of U2, or Coldplay. It has that feeling of being a "call to arms" song. It inspires and calls upon the listener to transcend and rise above. It has that jangly lead guitar sound. Perfect for a time in someones life where a big decision or change is needed. Male Vocals, Indie Rock, Garage Rock
This could be the background soundtrack for someone who has had too much beer and pizza before they went to bed. Stomach churning... splitting headache... dizzy and nauseous. It could also be much worse. For example: A heroin addict going through withdrawal, heaving out his guts in pain and despair. Instrumental, Indie Rock, Garage Rock
Authentic alternative rock song recorded by "The Source" in 1983. The album it was on charted at #17 on National College Radio. Perfect for a nightclub scene in which a bitter, decadent guy goes through his usual lines and actions to pick up a lady or guy for another meaningless sexual encounter. Male Vocals, Indie Rock, Alt Rock
Authentic, alternative rock, power-pop song recorded by "The Source" in 1985. The album it was on charted at #17 on National College Radio. It has the upbeat vibe of The Monkees, Beatles and Weezer with bubbling, jangly guitars. Perfect for 80's or present day film or ad for college age audience. Male Vocals, Indie Rock, Power Pop
This song is background for driving in your car, cruisin around during summertime, being mellow, carefree, and enjoying life. It has a sense of upbeat innocence, which could place it in a comedy movie or TV show. That's right, a young couple in love and all of the zaniness it can entail. Good times! Instrumental, Indie Rock, Indie Pop
This song has a buoyant, floating Beatles' vibe to it. It moves along in a peaceful yet vibrant way. It's perfect for a dreamy or romantic fantasy scene. Great for an animated film about peacefulness and spiritual awakening. Also, as a reminder that there is more to life than the hustle and bustle. Male Vocals, Indie Rock, Jangle Pop
Authentic alternative rock, power pop song recorded by "The Source" in 1985. The album it was on charted at #15 on National College Radio. This song is just a straight up GOOD time! It's upbeat, it's a bit campy, very celebratory and reminds you of the vibe The Monkees had in their music. Holiday! Male Vocals, Indie Rock, Power Pop
Authentic Power Pop song recorded by "The Source" in 1985. The album it was on charted at #17 on National College Radio. It is in the style of XTC, The Talking Heads, and The Squeeze. It's about relationships, romance, and having your partner's back. Great for 80's film, or romantic comedy. Male Vocals, Indie Rock, Power Pop
Start with the driving grunge guitar and vibe of Nirvana, mixed with the groove and flow of The Black Keys, and sprinkle it with a little electric organ via Paul Revere and the Raiders, and you've got the darkness and attitude of this song. It's about determination, protest and resistance. Male Vocals, Indie Rock, Garage Rock
Authentic, alternative rock, power-pop song recorded by "The Source" in 1985. The album it was on charted at #17 on National College Radio. In the spirit of XTC, The Talking Heads, and Devo. It has a campiness to it, but underneath all that, it's about someone out of control and screaming for help! Male Vocals, Indie Rock, Power Pop
Authentic New Wave song recorded by "The Source" in 1983. The album it was on charted at #17 on National College Radio. Sounds similar to Devo, XTC, early Talking Heads.
