Bristol based JEBO began life just a few short years ago, founded by songwriter/guitar wizard Rob Allen and drummer ‘international’ Jeff France, the duet formed a band around themselves whilst Rob began working on their debut album ‘Sinking Without You’, released in 2007. Later that year and following a European tour, JEBO played support at the Loreley Festival in Germany to the likes of Jethro Tull and Asia, the band had also previously supported artists such as It Bites. Following a lineup change earlier this year, JEBO have now fine-tuned their sound and are ready to head out on the road again.
Drawing influences from bands such as The Who, Pearl Jam and Radiohead, JEBO strive to give a tiptop live performance full of energy, drive and verve, in short, they’ll tear your world apart! The combined efforts of Rob on guitar and Jeff on drums is perfectly complemented by the pounding bass of Gianfredo Koenig, the soaring vocals of Kev Messenger and the delicately played keyboards of Nick O Neill, this 5 piece are a veritable powerhouse, miss them at your peril!
The band is currently in the studio working on their follow up album. They have chosen once again to work with ex Island Records’ producer John Burns (Jethro Tull, Genesis, John Martyn) and it’s looking and sounding like this lot will not have that ‘difficult second album’ syndrome.
