Five Things to Like About Vinyl’s Premiere Episode

James Jagger as Kip Stevens

In his role as the lead singer of the proto-punk band Nasty Bits, James Jagger exudes a raw power and unpredictability that perfectly captures the nihilistic energy of the early punk rock movement. Discovered on the subway by an enterprising Jamie Vine, Stevens refuses to compromise his hardcore values for commercial success.  He brawls with his fans, uses hard drugs and adopts “I don’t give a f***” as his professional philosophy. Sounds like he’ll fit right in at American Century Records.
