Release Notes:
What Would Jesus Drive are husband and wife Tim Box (vocals and guitar)
and Amy Casey (vocals and guitar), joined by Gemma Horgan (decks and
air synth) and John Newman (keyboards, samples). It was only a matter
of time before decided to tear the scene apart with a feature length
release, and here they are with their debut album Black and Blue.
Their previous releases, EP Fragile Mansions, single Your Awful Kids,
and their respective videos, caused quite a stir, seeing them featured
on websites such as Subba-Cultcha, Artrocker and Clash. The band have
also played alongside Dirty Pretty Things and The Drums, as well as
being one of the favourites on the Introducing stage at Radio One's Big
Weekend in 2010.
Black and Blue opens with a shriek of sirens, which sets the tone for
what's to come. The album is a spectacular punch in the face, each
track driven by raw guitars layered by synthesizers; sneering vocals
and a cacophony of drums that make you want to trash your living room
just to join in. It's a powerful return to the roots of post-punk, with
enough musical innovation to create a sound that's very much lodged in
the present. Like all the best punk records, What Would Jesus Drive
complement their powerful backline with politically charged lyrics,
creating landscapes of urban ennui, the tribulations of poverty and the
gradual deterioration of modern society. It's an outstanding debut
album from a band that has already proved their potential with their
previous releases.
