Leicester-London punk collective Jools releases their debut album Violent Delights.
Jools – comprised of Kate Price (vocals), Mitch Gordon (vocals), Chris Johnston (guitar), Callum Connachie (guitar), Joe Dodd (bass) and Chelsea Wrones (drums), created an album that doesn’t shy away from heavy themes. Violent Delights explores themes of identity, religion, grief, rage, and desire.
“It’s an album about being challenging and curious. At face value, this record could read like a tragedy, but I want it to feel like a celebration. It’s about confronting tragedy.”
Mitch Gordon
“Loss is a central theme of the album. For us, we have our own specific version of what that is in these songs, but for anyone listening, it could be the loss of something else – a loved one, a relationship. But we’re never mourning loss. We’re celebrating it. Loss is almost universally looked at as a negative, but we’re finding the positives in those moments. We had to go through hell to get to heaven. Violent Delights is about looking back with gratitude, and even fondness, the closing of one chapter and beginning of another.”
