This album is dedicated to the city of Tampa, FL and all the wonderful people who made my time there so special.

Jack Eppink's debut album "EightOneThree" features a highly curated yet low-fi approach to adapting alternative music to a changing musical landscape. The album features a sampling of tracks written during the summer of 2016 and discusses themes such as leaving home, finding oneself, and uncertainty yet excitability when thinking about the future. Standout tracks include pseudo-instrumental spoken word track "LUV", Black Keys-esque beach burner "Fool's Paradise", "Tampa Bay" a charming ukulele ballad that pays homage to the past while looking toward the future with a smile, and of course the standout rendition of NWA's "Express Yourself" which blends the alternative feel of the rest of the album with the gritty bounce of the original track. What the album lacks in production value, it makes up in character, making it a great debut for a young artist.

EightOneThree

More of a bonus track than a true song, this quick little ukulele track is inspired by blink-182.

Happy Song

Express Yourself (NWA)

What seems to be a standard tale of love and love lost is actually a song about addiction.

Stay

Saying goodbye to familiar faces can be tough, but home is where the heart is.

Tampa Bay

I remember where I come from. In this classic blink track, Mark, Tom, and Travis detail what happens when summer fun comes crashing down.

Reckless Abandon (blink-182)

Hangover

Swinging from left field, this joke-rap all too accurately describes the struggles of a summer job.

Broke A$$ Bitch

This is a song by Death Cab for Cutie. I like it.

Sound of Settling (Death Cab for Cutie)

This song is dedicated to some of my best friends (all mentioned in the song) You guys made my later years in Tampa some of the best.

Colt 45

What's summer like in the 813? Only one way to find out

Fool's Paradise

A dance-able beat reminiscent of legends like Buddy Holly. Bonnie & Clyde will surely have you two stepping with your sweetheart in no time.
