Project JT is a band that's still in it's embryonic stages, and this is the only tune they've released so far. In case you're wondering, the 'JT' stands for 'Johar Town' (The band members used to study together in Lahore Grammar School, Johar Town branch). The tune is slick in terms of production, and comes across as the apotheosis of the commercial hard-rock aesthetic as exemplified by a number of Western bands in the early-mid 00s. Moreover, it seems to have the kind of intuitive balance that renders it suitable for a wide audience or repetitive radio-airplay. The melodies bank on the listener's expectations by providing agreeable motifs. It's almost like poetic justice being divorced from its literary context, and being applied to music. The vocalist for the band, Haris Usmani has cited Alter Bridge as a strong influence, and that manages to come through in the tune.
