Description/Reviews: 

If you are not familiar with Jolly, they play a style of music that is difficult to pigeonhole.  They obviously have trappings from alternative rock, such as the heavily distorted guitars, but you can also hear hefty pop sensibilities, such as the well-crafted choruses and bright melodies.  You can also hear influences from various other genres, such film scores, R&B, and progressive metal.  So, while you will hear lush keyboard melodies mixed with technical drums, the band never takes themselves too seriously.  They kinda do their own thing, and they are all the better for it.  Jolly simply has their own sound.  In fact, they seem like one of those bands that just doesn’t have much influence from prog at all, and they don’t really seem to like that label.  Of course, that is what all the cool prog guys are doing nowadays.
