Junior Bill Release Four New Tracks

Junior Bill release four new self-released tracks tomorrow to coincide with a run of dates, including supporting Danny Goffey (Supergrass), before returning for a homecoming show in Cardiff. After the success of their award-winning concert film, Above Your Station, with brand new music, their new self-titled release features four fresh, exciting recordings steeped in narratives rooted in the history, myths and culture of Cardiff.

The record further expands upon Junior Bill’s distinctive, infectious genre-blurring marriage of ska, reggae, dub, latin, punk and pop songwriting that has won them fans both on stage and on record. It was produced with Andrew Sanders (Jemma Roper, Big Thing) at Kings Road Studio In January 2017 and mastered by Matthew Evans (Keys, El Goodo).

Formed in 2013, Junior Bill have been through a few incarnations, but the writing talents of Rob Nichols have combined with keyboard & synth player Joel Beswick and bassist Rory Saunders since the bands inception. The five-piece is currently completed by drummer Jim Strickland and newest member Luke Owen on vocals, samples and guitar. Junior Bill’s live show has been highly praised for its enthralling energy and has earned them the reputation of being one of the best new acts in Wales. This November they will seek to prove it with a run of support shows across the UK with Danny Goffey (Supergrass) before returning for a homecoming show in Cardiff, their first in a year.
