Whiskey General

Whiskey General is a collaborative music project led by British musician, singer, and songwriter Jay Serra, co-founder of The Juice (aka Kasai). A veteran of international tours and indie music productions, Jay has supported acts as varied as The Doves, Magistrate, Ms Dynamite, Idlewild and Scouting For Girls. With Whiskey General, Jay wanted to highlight an overlooked pool of talent. He believes that the traditional rock star no longer exists. Instead the future lies with DIY artists, artists who are not confined or defined by genre, and who believe in the stripped-back power of a raw idea on a guitar or piano, rather than the over-production of manufactured pop and rock. Jay’s first track, 'Truth And Lies' was a collaboration with fellow musos and touring vets, Bob Moore and Rich Merrett. His second release, ‘Shotgun’, is in collaboration with Jack Evans and Rich Merrett was a labour of love that involved artists from Los Angeles, Philadelphia and Toronto. He co-produced it with Jordan Brown. His latest and upcoming release 'The Evil Eye', is his collaboration with London guitarist Maw. With cross of vibes between Sabbath, Nineties Grunge and a theme observed by so many countries around the world, the powerful song promises to pack a punch.

 Struggling with Shotgun? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!

Asking me questions like you don't know
You had it coming, I'm running the show now 
Hell is waiting deep down below 
Finding a door, it's time to go
Don't blame the ones who hypnotised 
They're shadows forming and passing by
They come in different disguises
This is the moment to rise

Popping a pill in the back of our throats
Doing the drill cos they want more and the
Hustle has only made us poor 
Its never what we signed up for 
The sky above is beckoning
My nicotine and caffeine hit
Never waking from this dream I'll 
Indulge a little when 
I am

Calling Shotgun and Going on a trip
Shotgun The way ahead is lit
Live it up to get your kicks
Finding new bridges to burn down

Big egos and their shields get
Blinded by the summer heat when the
Card in the wallet admits defeat and 
Sweet talk is not enough to eat
So we drive until we run out of gas
to be a part of the American plan
A crazy mouse in a magical land 
When the diva demands
I am

Calling Shotgun and Going on a trip
Shotgun The way ahead is lit
Live it up to get your kicks
Finding new bridges to burn down

Smokin up in Gattlinburg 
Till I touch the hand of my maker
Roads can make you feel hard done by
But that depends on who you're with baby 
I'll show you things you never seen
Just keep the whiskey streaming in
I don't need your sympathy 
Cos in time the soul yearns to be free

Mirror Mirror, don't you lie to me 
You had me tethered by the sea 
I am the skipper of this ship now
It's time for you to leave
Cos we are

Calling Shotgun and Going on a trip
Shotgun The way ahead is lit
Live it up to get your kicks
Finding new bridges to burn down

Leave
It’s time to leave
