Inspired by a love of The Sex Pistols & soul music brought the Kent based Jel together a couple of years ago, initially as a four-piece. Before long they found their own voice and started writing songs about love, life & local costal attractions! Musically, the songs evolve within the group after the initial musical ideas of Dave & Rob with Jon making the odd classic contribution. Lyrics and melody come courtesy of Andy, whose song writing and singing are the essence of Jel’s sound. After producing a demo sampler and gigging at local venues and London, the band quickly found management and major label interest. With an already established large and loyal fan base, Jel had the platform to move up a gear. The band released a single on ASCAP label which was recorded at Blah Street produced by Pete Jones. TV & Radio sessions followed, as well as 2nd guitarist Rop Pope. Jel toured around London playing at venues such as Shepherds Bush Empire, The Forum, The Garage at Camden, Astoria 2 & The Water Rats, along with regular acoustic gigs at the Jazz Café. They also went on to play festivals in Dublin and Munich as well as at home. After constant requests and emails from around the world to release new material, or at the very least just re-release ‘All the blinding menace’, Jel were tempted back into the arena. The word was out and the band was signed in minutes to the ‘Label of Love’.
