BIOGRAPHY

The Just Joans are a six-piece indiepop band from Glasgow, fronted by siblings David and Katie Pope. Known for their miserable outlook, clever lyrics and heartfelt melodies, they have been an established part of the underground DIY scene for over a decade.

They have supported the likes of The Hidden Cameras, Jeffrey Lewis and Art Brut, and have played on the same bill as Camera Obscura, The Lovely Eggs and The Wedding Present.

“The Just Joans have mastered the art of writing sad songs that are funny and consoling rather than just plain depressing.” - Record Collector

“Poets of the mundane, The Just Joans are in danger of becoming something of a British institution.” - The Morning Star

“The Just Joans are miserablist chroniclers, always looking about, wide-eyed, finding inspiration in the mundane, and delivering with a mischievous wink. They’re already something of a cult band, and this record further seals that status.” - musicOMH

“The Just Joans indulge in a fine tradition of tuneful Scottish miserabilism that is distinctly our own, and might be doing it better than anyone else around at the minute.” - The Wee Review

“There’s mischief in this miserabilsm.” - Mojo
