Los Straitjackets - Whats So Funny About Peace, Love And Los Straitjackets

“What’s So Funny About Peace, Love and Los Straitjackets” finds Los Straitjackets reimagining a selection of classic songs written by Nick Lowe, an artist whose influence spans decades of rock, new wave and pub rock.

In this collection, the American band applies their trademark instrumental surf sound — vibrant guitars, sharp tones and stylish arrangements — creating versions that honour the originals while bringing a fresh identity of their own. The absence of vocals is compensated by the expressive guitar work, which carries the familiar melodies with subtle humour and impeccable musicality. The album showcases Los Straitjackets’ ability to transform well-known material into something uniquely theirs while celebrating Lowe’s sharp and melodic songwriting.
