Bristol based JEBO began life just a few short years ago, founded by songwriter/guitar wizard Rob Allen and drummer Jeff France. The duet formed a band around them 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. Drawing influences from bands such as The Who, Neil Young and Pink Floyd to name a few, JEBO strive to give a tip-top 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 Konig, the soaring vocals of Kevin J Messenger and the maestro keyboard playing of Nick O’Neill, this 5 piece are a veritable powerhouse, miss them at your peril! Following a drastic line-up change earlier this year, actually during the recording sessions for the 2nd album, JEBO have now fine-tuned their sound and are ready to head out on the road again. The band has just finished mixing the new album. They have chosen once again to work with ex-Island Records producer John Burns (Jethro Tull, Genesis and John Martyn) and Real Worlds Ben Findlay.
It’s looking and sounding like this lot will not have that ‘difficult second album’ syndrome.
