After signing with Xtra Mile Recordings (home to Frank Turner, Future of the Left and Against Me!) and releasing their second album “Death” in April 2012, the last 18 months has been a real roller coaster. They played rapturously received sets at festivals across the globe (including SXSW and 2000trees), smashed through two UK headline tours, received praise from Radio 1’s Zane Lowe and backed Frank Turner at the Olympics Opening Ceremony to an estimated audience of 25million people.

Featuring the singles “Wishing Well”, “A Song About Death” and the towering “England’s Dead”, “Death” wonderfully encapsulates the band’s vast sound as the young quartet draw from a plethora of influences including alt.country, folk and hardcore punk. Coupled with a strong political ethic and a “play-till-you’re-dead” attitude, it’s a truly arresting record crammed with hook-filled harmonies, innovative rhythms and passionately honest lyrics, surely making JL&TSS one of the most exciting new bands in British music.

Their non-stop touring ethic shows no sign of slowing down as the band joined Frank Turner last November on his huge UK full band tour. Jim went on to support Frank throughout Ireland and Scotland when they both play December solo shows. 2013 has begun with much of the same as the band embarked on a 5 week UK headline run, toured the US with Dropkick Murphy’s and returned to SXSW.
