Six friends, half who had never been in a band before or even sung, formed Jody and the Jerms in Oxford, England, in the Autumn of 2019. With just one raucous gig before lockdown, the band kept writing, recording and honing their blend of melodic and uplifting indie/alt rock and pop - with a sold out vinyl album released (Deeper - Sept 2020), and a slew of well received singles and national airtime on Radio X and BBC 6 Music. The six-piece band have drawn comparisons to The GoGos, Darling Buds and Kirtsy MacColl, and are an exciting prospect live.

"It’s almost like power pop, a bit Bangles... or jangle pop. Lovely."

Radcliffe & Maconie, BBC 6 MUSIC (April 2021)

"Jody had to be coerced into singing, and she does it really well. It's good isn't it!"

Janice Long - BBC Wales (April 2021)

"Jody and the Jerms, sounding sparky! Like bands used to sound."

Mickey Bradley - The Undertones/BBC Ulster (Feb 2021)

“Upbeat sonic ear-candy from Oxford. Pure pop but just enough angst to give it an edge. Cool."

Tim Livingston - Radio Warfare (Jan 2021)

MOA is a singer, songwriter and producer who creates and performs what she refers to as "Bipolar pop".

MOA’s music is an enchanting merge of sickly sweet pop and fearlessly provocative punk. The style and lyrics derive from a life of complex mental struggles, landing her in a world of ecstatic highs and sinister lows. As a result, the self appointed ’Sertraline Queen’ started using her experiences with bipolar disorder to her advantage, and has spent the last year assembling a line of indisputable alt-pop pieces, discussing everything from female empowerment to mental health.

Swedish born MOA is based in London, where she has been honing her craft since a young age. She left Sweden for the thrill of the suburban capital of the UK, but brought with her the ferociousness of the Scandinavian winters.

Recently, Bastie released ‘Lullaby Highs’. The song was premiered by Hot Press Magazine. Hot Press: ‘The only way is up for the English talent. Hot Press are certainly excited to see what indie-pop anthems he emerges with next’
