Interlaker

Interlaker 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 on mainland Europe, arenas with Biffy Clyro, to the main stage at Reading and Leeds festivals. A man who was always uncomfortable with being the centre of attention, as the band grew in reputation so did his issues with the constant attention and adoration, resulting in him leaving Lonely the Brave in March 2018.

Interlaker sees a return for Jakes on his terms, delivering the best of Lonely The Brave, but encapsulated within a sound for 2024; a new musical project, with a new musical partner in Jack Wrench. Jakes and Wrench – who only knew each other vaguely from their previous bands – brokered their new partnership on Instagram; exchanging casual messages, discovering a mutual love of REM and Pearl Jam, before progressing to swapping demos and song ideas, eventually writing and recording their brilliant debut album entirely online.
