Already having garnered support from the likes of Amazing Radio, BBC London introducing, Kerrang, Clash Magazine, Artrocker, Hypetrak + and having previously ran their own successful London DIY open mic night “Cable Street Electric”, Jingo are anything but short of valuable influence and the evidence speaks for itself. Their first live show saw them supporting Blur’s Graham Coxon, last years album release coincided with a US tour alongside friends, Not Blood Paint and they have now done tours throughout North France, West Germany and Belgium along with a sold out single launch at London's Old St Pancras church. Their latest EP will be launched at the Borderline in London on October 29th
Jack Buckett met Katie (now) Buckett in Brooklyn, New York, before luring her back to the bright lights of East London. On returning to the big smoke, along with the new additions to the rhythm section, Nima Safai and Michael Hussain, they have found themselves drawing influence from BRNS, Not Blood Paint, Interpol, Wolf Alice, Jeff Buckley, Prince and Lana Del Rey to create their vivacious, driving sounds.
Jingo are taking major musical leaps. Streamlined songwriting, amplified rawness, artfully implemented melodies deservedly draw attention to the kind of band they have become: serious musicians brimming with promise. Egoless instrumentals and cascading percussion together with Katie’s distinctive and devoted vocals scream Warpaint with a Portishead shade.
