We would like to introduce JW PARIS to you, a London based three piece who have recently supported the likes of The Vultures, The Amazons and Yonaka to name just a few.
Their ballsy new sound builds on their influences ranging from BRMC, The Dandy Warhols, Jack White, The Rolling Stones, Blur and Suede, which in turn gives them a raw anglo-american, alt-rock swagger with the vocal delivery, phrasing and harmonies that wouldn’t sound out of place in the brit pop hey day.
They’ve had plenty of great live feedback from fanzines and bloggers, and as a result of this are being tipped as ones to watch in 2018. Most recently the band have been in Foel residential studios in Wales where they worked on a number of new tracks, three of which have now been produced by Hugo Nicolson (Grammy award winner who has worked with Primal Scream, Radiohead, Julian Cope and Bjork) and mastered by John Davis at Metropolis (U2, Noel Gallagher).
So, why JW PARIS?
Well the name comes from a story of a cursed diamond which was believed to be the eye of the Hindu god Brahma. In a previous century it was stolen and then rediscovered in the 19th century when it’s curse came into play. JW Paris was the diamond dealer who first fell foul to the curse. In order to break that curse the diamond was broken into three pieces.
To the band this name not only symbolises them as a three piece but also symbolises them as the first to succumb to the power and strength of the curse, which is not only the songs and music they play but also the power and strength they have when they write and play those songs and music, just like the curse in the story. www.jwparis.band
