Free Download From Pope Joan

• 30th Mar 2010

Brighton’s post-punk hurricane that is Pope Joan, comprising of Sammy Aaron JR (Vocals, Guitars), Tom Windsor (Synths, Guitars, Vocals), Dave Coomber (Bass Guitars, Synths, Vocals) and Andre Millin (Drums) are set to smash it in 2010.

These four south coast troubadours have sculpted a raucous and quirky breed of left field pop as angular as their impossibly good looks. With a string of singles and a brand new album all set for release the future looks very bright.

Having caught the attention of Steve Lamaq last year with their AA side single Centurions // Volumes, Pope Joan have been busy gigging and recording with none other than Mark Williams (White Lies, Biffy Clyro, The Cribs, Nine Black Alps, Enter Shakira…) in preparation for what will no doubt be their biggest year to date.

Pope Joan’s sound has developed into a stripped back force of sonic poetry, bringing to the fore joyously crafted songs delivered by their outrageously charismatic frontman Sammy Aaron JR.

To fully appreciate the raw musical talent that they possess, their explosive live shows are a must see. Last year saw them play with The Invisible, The Hoosiers, The Fall, Dananananaykroyd to name a few resulting in a scrum of promoters banging on their door.

To back up these claims the boys are offering you, the lovely Glasswerk readers, a free download of their new track “The Ground Is Shakey”.
