Ward 52

As a babe Jeffrey Martin sought out solitude as often as he could find it. He’s always been that way, and he has never understood the whole phenomenon of smiling in pictures, although he is a very happy guy. One night in middle school he stayed up under the covers with a flashlight and a DiscMan, listening to Reba McEntire’s That’s the Night that the Lights Went Out in Georgia on repeat until the DiscMan ran out of batteries. That night he became a songwriter, although he didn’t actually write a song until years later. After high school he spent a few years distracting himself from having to gather up the courage to do what he knew he had to do.

Eventually he found his way to a writing degree, and then a teaching degree. He wrote most days like his life depended on it, all sorts of things, not just songs, but songs too. He fell in love with teaching high school English, which was fantastic because he never thought he’d actually come to truly love it. His students were fierce and unstoppable forces of noise and curiosity, and for all that they took from him in sleep and sense, they gave him a hundred times back in sparks and humility.

All the while he was also playing truckloads of music. There was one weekend where he flew to LA while grading essays on the plane, played two shows, and then flew back home, still grading essays, and woke up to teach at 5am on Monday morning. It was around this time he started wondering if such a life was sustainable.

After four years of quietly crafting their sound, Manchester’s Juice Pops are ready to make some noise. With their debut album Living Books, the quartet step confidently into their hometown spotlight, launching the record with a special gig at YES Basement.

Since forming in 2018 and releasing their self-titled EP in 2021, Juice Pops have evolved from purveyors of bright, sunshine-pop to something altogether more richly textured. Their brand of upbeat indie rock now sprawls across genres – psychedelia, post-hardcore, garage rock, surf, and power pop all collide in an exuberant mix that feels both nostalgic and modern.

Living Books channels a restless energy into a set of songs that swing between mania and melancholy, packed with lyrical flights of imagination – cathedrals, time machines, stargazing, and haunted heroines straight from the pages of Tolstoy. Musically, it’s a fever dream of intertwining twin guitars, harmonies and vintage organ swells, balancing moments of lush introspection against sharp, tonally shifting bursts of chaos. BBC Introducing Manchester have already hailed lead single Heavyweight Champion as “that sweet intersection of noise and bliss that makes magic.”

Support comes from Precious Metals. Precious Metals formed in Sheffield in 2018. Their beachcombing post-punk riffs, psychedelic keys and earworming alternative pop harmonies have the band surfing somewhere on the Pacific Ocean between 90s Olympia and Connan Mockasin’s tripped-out New Zealand.
