Bootstraps are a testament to the idea that good songs always find their audience. The Los Angeles-based band specializes in heart-on-sleeve rock grandeur; their songs unspool dramatically and determinedly, with the guitars and frontman Jordan Beckett’s world-weary vocals taking the listener on a road trip through a rocky emotional landscape. Even before the release of the band’s debut, Bootstraps’ music has been featured prominently on television and film soundtracks and has garnered them a small but loyal following.
A Portland native who moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in screenwriting, he turned to music during a “down season in my life,” he says. “I was watching a relationship dissolve, so I would take these long drives up the 101. I would write songs for myself in my apartment—in the bathroom, in the bedroom. It was a creative outlet for me. It was only by chance that anyone else heard his music. Beckett loaned out a Mix CD to a friend of his named Sam Jaeger, but forgot that he had included two of his own lo-fi demos at the end. An actor and filmmaker best known for his work on Parenthood and Eli Stone, Jaeger soon devised big plans for his friend’s music. When he started filming his directorial debut, Take Me Home, he urged Beckett to flesh out a few of his songs for the soundtrack.
“What is probably the most surprising aspect of this project is that people saw exactly what I was going for,” says Beckett. “From the very beginning people just naturally understood what kind of music I was trying to make and what kind of artist I wanted to be. There’s the greatest sense of fulfillment"
