Description
The Truth: Noirishly nourishing North London alt.gothic rocksters Desperate Journalist follow up their spectacular November Kamio comeback show with big news aâ€™plenty for the New Year. Firstly, the feisty quartet will headline Londonâ€™s Scala on April 6th 2017 as part of a string of live dates in the UK and Germany. And secondly, on March 24th they release their second album, â€˜Grow Upâ€™, ostensibly eleven tracks of rocketing leftfield delights propelled forth with thundering rhythms, thunderously spectacular guitar and Jo Bevanâ€™s thunderstruck vocals. Such is intense life with Desperate Journalist, one of the most potent, important DIY bands lurking on the underground scene right now. The campaign for â€˜Grow Upâ€™ kicked off with the Kamio headline and the release of the heroically muscular â€˜Hollowâ€™ single, followed by the launch of â€˜Resolutionâ€™ on New Yearâ€™s Day. If both â€˜Hollowâ€™ and the follow-up â€˜Resolutionâ€™ capture a band working ever harder, faster, stronger then fittingly the â€˜Grow Upâ€™ album sees Desperate Journalist building on the sublimely tetchy mood swings of their 2014 self-titled debut and the tense interim â€˜Good Luckâ€™ EP by adding a fresh sonic sheen to their old school indie stroppings.
