Jools | Live 2025

In the organizer's words:

To experience Jools at their most chaotic and unpredictable, the band was once told, is to not know whether you're about to be kicked in the face or kissed on the cheek. But even that is an understatement. Jools' punk rock is simultaneously fierce and violent, cathartic and confrontational, and the next moment jubilant and exhilarating. The band plays with this duality, which gives their music tension and originality. Mitch Gordon and Kate Price (vocals), Chris Johnston and Callum Connachie (guitar), Joe Dodd (bass) and Chelsea Wrones (drums) came together in 2023 by chance rather than design. Together, they serve as a creative pool of inspiration ranging from the punk and post-punk of The Smiths, Fontaines DC, Iggy Pop, Amyl & The Sniffers and PJ Harvey, to the shoegaze of My Bloody Valentine and Slowdive, to metal, rap and pop, incorporating these influences into their music as wild compositions.
