Stream The One by Union Jacket.

"Union Jacket" is the brand new talent band that features Alex Borges (Vocals and Lyrics) Jose Valentin ( Guitar) and Dave Meredith (Music producer/composer). The band are hard at work on the first album which will feature a collection of truly outstanding songs that will show the diversity of the above three artists.

Dave is a composer/producer from the UK who produces music in various styles and works with various artists online via the internet. Dave has been interested in music and how it works for some time now. A keyboard player who produces his own melodies and full songs with such diversity and style. Dave has worked on many songs and beats and through his nickname 'MEZZER' and his production name of 'WORLDS APART PRODUCTIONS' has offered alot of his work to the online audience to hear. His songs and work has gained alot of praise and respect with the online (and offline) community.

"My plans for 2005 are for Union Jacket to do well, we have a project thats full of great songs and I really hope we can attract the right attention with Union Jacket." - Dave Meredith

Dave tells us: Some of the best highlights of my career have been working with Carla at Melodrift, this was great, so good that I got signed as an artist to Melodrift . Together myself and Carla worked on songs and one song named INNOCENCE FALLS (also the name for carla's album) did really well, radio play and magazine interviews followed the build up to Carla's album in Gibraltar with Innocence Falls being the lead song from the album and given so much praise on the internet at various music sites. Working with Brian sonneman and Matt hone on a cool new rock based project and of course working on Union Jacket with Alex and Jose.

Alot of hard work has gone into Union Jacket and they say that hard work does pay off, so fingers crossed. Working with Brian and Matt is another highlight for 2005 with our awesome ongoing project. Working with Brian and Matt has been awesome. Plus i will continue with my other work and collabs with other artists as and when they come.

Some of my thoughts on the band members:

Alex Borges: - I met Alex online well over a year ago, via music. We left some comments on our websites about our music and songs and it kinda moved on from there. I asked Alex if he wanted to maybe sing on a track or two of mine, after hearing a couple of Alex's cover songs I was very impressed. Alex replied and liked the beat I produced called "Draggin Me Down", he loved the strong drums and modern fusion of Electronia and Rock. I didn't hear much from Alex for a while (busy man) then out of the blue he contacted me and said the song was coming on well, a couple of months later there it was, ready and waiting for me to hear. Not only had Alex added fantastic vocals but there was some awesome electric guitar riffs added to the music, provided by Jose Valentin. From that moment on we struck up a union, DAVE, Alex & JOSE. This is how Union Jacket was born.

Alex is a top man and great online friend who I respect as an artist and friend. He has a diverse style in his vocals and puts together outstanding melodies to music. He is a guy I can trust and a guy that brings out the qualities in my music; long may we continue making songs as Union Jacket. Alex has a huge history in music, he has done many cover songs, played live and has recorded a pro CD in his time with the label he was signed to. Radio play and Magazine coverage has followed Alex with his previous work .

Jose Valentin: - Jose in short is a brilliant guitarist, this guy puts together stunning riffs and gentle melodic plucks on his guitar that really highlight a song. He can in short make the guitar sing, the depth and qualities this adds to the Union Jacket songs is something you will witness soon enough.
