The EP is now 3 years old! So ideal to get a trailer up for it right? Oops. The reason is so we have something to share for promotion that isn't a facebook link. Hadn't thought of it before somehow... Anyway you can buy the EP at jandoyleband.bandcamp.com if you fancy it.
Various other stuff to do with us are at linktr.ee/jandoyleband

EP INFORMATION
The Body Balanced is our most ambitious release to date. We have put a huge amount of time, effort (and money!) into getting this right.
We like to think we take you on quite a journey with this... from Synth Goth to industrial punk, electro ballad, new wave and cyber dance pop we've got many bases covered. We feel more than any other band around today, we offer a great variety in our music. So many aritsts seem content to stick to 'a sound'. To us music is a vast area to explore with many different experiences to enjoy.
BAND INFORMATION
Core members:
Derek Anthony Williams (vocals, songwriting)
Kelly D (Guitar)
Lady LD50 (Backing vocals)
London members

JDB- practitioners of INSURRECTIONARY NEO FUTURISM, an
ethos in music to move forward and never repeat. To put on a
spectacle live with the philosophy of “Be Amazing , Be Terrible,
Never be boring.” . A sstyle built on goth industrial new wave
synthpop and punk, but merged into something unique. Based in
Sheffield but just as regularly found in London - or wherever we’re
needed.
Press quotes:
“A band half way to old school goth Sister's of Mercy but got snagged on David Bowie,
and slipped in a puddle of glam; in a sense... The Clash on acid.” (Also listed just behind
Rammstein in top live acts of 2020) Elektrovox.com
“As a front man Williams, complete with stiletto heeled thigh high boots, is a great showman
and his performance was incredible. [They] demand (and deserve) your attention.” Dsoaudio.com
“recognis[ing] no boundary between stage and audience [..]cutting shapes to the tunes. [..]
as much performance art as it is music performance” Elecricity-club.co.uk
" impassioned, expressive delivery from frontman Derek Anthony Williams, wielded wild washes of futuristic force… a show which felt a little like punk pounded together with performance art, makeup, hair and musical release." Loude thanwar.com
“one of the most fearless performers we have evr known” Goth City Promotions
INDIVIDUAL TRACK INFORMATION
Body Balanced - A song of unfulfilled desire and dissatisfaction at the sate of things. Sung as some unnamed, unidentified character who feels than no real person is meeting their impossible ideals of form and attitude, which are a dream-like perfection. The gender of this character having these thoughts is also open to interpretation.
Confusion - Things aren't as they are supposed to be and it's confusing. What do we feel? What does anyone feel? We explore this in a perhaps seemingly confusing chaotic mess of industrial punk, heavily inspired by Deutsche Amerikanische Freundschaft
Reflections - Almost a sequel or aftermath of Confusion. Here we explore our identity in the world. Are we what we appear to be? Do we live up to what we want to be? Are we fitting in with who we desire to be amongst. Such things frequently plague our lives. Who is that looking back when we look in the mirror..
Play Pretend - Life without art is a life not lived. We need art and creativity in order to survive. We need imagination. We need the moments where, just for a short while, we can be someone or somewhere else. We don't say ignore the wrongs of the world but sometimes enjoy time to take a break from that. Here we celebrate that and various artists who have inspired that in us, can you identify them? 4 are hinted at (in a rather plain sight way)
Yes Sir, I Can Boogie - Derek has always loved this track and decided it could be rather good fun to do it live, not realising it would actually become an absolute stonking anthem of a set finished. With a gradually increasing tempo, the ridiculous ramps up in spectacular fashion to a huge crescendo, truly transforming this camp disco classic into our own thing. An absolute fan favourite live so we felt we had to finally release it.
