6 by JÄST (D)
JÄST, the rising force in melodic rock with their self-coined genre "80s AOR Reboot", is set to release their new EP "6" on June 6, 2025. Following their unique and fan-centric release strategy, "6" compiles all singles released by the band to date, continuing their concept of issuing a new EP every eight weeks as a comprehensive archive of their evolving sound.
The band – made up of powerhouse vocalist Jessica Conte (Uriah Heep), baritone guitar virtuoso Axel “Ironfinger” Ritt (Ex-Grave Digger), bass maestro Steven Wussow (Orden Ogan, Ex-Xandria), and hard-hitting drummer Timmi Breideband (Hämatom, Ex-Freedom Call, Ex-Bonfire) – takes its name JÄST from the initials of each member, in a clever nod to ABBA.
JÄST stormed onto the scene in 2024 with their debut single “Heartlight”, capturing listeners with a sound that fuses the emotional punch of classic arena rock with cutting-edge, high-quality production. Guided by the band’s rallying cry – “Bring Rock Back To Radio” – they have committed to creating timeless music played by real musicians, with no use of AI or artificial enhancements. Every note, every beat, and every vocal take on “6” is a testament to that promise.
Recorded once again at the esteemed Meadow Studios, the EP was produced by none other than Axel “Ironfinger” Ritt, who has been at the helm of all five previous EPs. The result is a meticulously crafted collection of tracks that showcase JÄST’s commitment to musical excellence and honest craftsmanship.
"6" isn’t just another release—it’s a statement. It’s real rock music, made by real people, for a new generation of fans who still believe in the power of the song.
