Some debut albums feel like a first step. Others feel like a line in the sand. Make Me Feel Alive Again, the first full length from Vicenza, Italy’s Jaguero, lands firmly in the latter. After building a following with their Worst Weekend Ever and New Love EPs, the band arrives with a record that leans into uncertainty instead of trying to smooth it over. It’s restless, loud, and searching, pulling from punk, grunge, and emo without settling neatly into any of them. Make Me Feel Alive Again is now available through streaming platforms and on vinyl via Anchors Aweigh Records.
The title isn’t meant to be aspirational, it’s more like a demand. Across the record, Jaguero bounce between melody and abrasion, cleaner moments giving way to faster, rougher edges that make it clear that this is a band figuring things out in real time, not presenting a finished version of themselves. That sense of honesty carries through the whole record. Jaguero aren’t chasing trends or trying to sound polished for the sake of it, they’re more interested in capturing a feeling, even if it’s messy or unresolved. That’s where the album hits hardest.
“Make Me Feel Alive Again is our first full-length, born from the desire to turn vulnerability and uncertainty into something that moves and pushes forward. We often feel out of place… so we leaned into the most visceral side of our emotions, without filters. Every song is a sincere attempt to find ourselves again.”
