What we say

Rating: sad This record left our Clinton feeling sad.

The new single by Joe Lean and the Jing Jang Jongs 'Where do you go' has obviously been fed into the same machine but with the charisma button in off mode. A poor mans Pigeon Detectives if such a thing can be imagined.

What the label says:

After setting SxSW alight with a series of scorching shows, Joe Lean & The Jing Jang Jong return to the UK for a headline tour leading up to the release of new single 'Where Do You Go?' in May.

Since bursting into the spotlight last Spring, and signing to Vertigo after only a dozen shows, Joe Lean & The Jing Jang Jong have been working flat out to turn a promising prospect into one of the UK's most thrilling new bands. After finishing 2007 supporting CSS, Babyshambles, Dizzee Rascal and the Kaiser Chiefs as well as their own headline gigs ¬- Joe Lean & The Jing Jang Jong show no sign of letting up in 2008. Since touring throughout February on the NME Awards tour with The Cribs the band have released their second single - the indie anthem 'Lonely Buoy' - in March and have just finished recording their debut album, scheduled for release in August.

The band formed in 2006 when Joe, then juggling drumming duties with The Pipettes, decided he needed an outlet for the effervescent pop symphonies that he had been writing. Luckily he didn't have to look far - "I realised I knew the three best guitarists in the country and managed to get one of them to play bass". Together with drummer James Craig, Panda (bass), Tom Dougall (guitar), Dom O'Dare (guitar) joined Joe in nearly a year of intensive writing and rehearsal before playing their first show early in 2007. After only a handful more gigs the buzz on London's music scene was deafening - a truly special band had arrived.

'Where Do You Go?' encapsulates all that is wonderful about Joe Lean & The Jing Jang Jong within its three perfectly formed minutes. Searing guitars, teenage drama, and an irrepressible chorus all add up to make a song that simultaneously embraces the last 50 years of pop music whilst grinding it under its heel.

Recorded over the last three months in a north London studio, the band's debut is the perfect distillation of the boys inspired blend of garage rock, classic pop and doo-wop. Featuring the singles 'Lucio Starts Fires', 'Lonely Buoy' and 'Where Do You Go?', as well as live favourites 'Baby', 'Teenagers', and 'Brooklyn', it is set to be one of 2008's most impressive debuts. Scheduled for an August release, we expect to be able to tell you and play you more very soon. But for now we're happy to let 'Where Do You Go?' do the talking....
