The Penny Black Remedy are a London based band renowned for their energetic live shows and for their unique musical fusion of many different genres, including Folk, Americana, Punk and Ska.

The combination of singer/songwriter Keith M Thomson’s distinct blend of darkly humorous lyrics and joyfully hooky melodies and the band’s high-octane stage antics have enticed and entertained audiences across the UK and Europe since the band’s inception (in London, 2004).

At the band's core is Scottish born front-man and guitarist Thomson and singer/percussionist, Marijana Hajdarhodzic, from Croatia. Keith & Marijana have been performing music together since 2006.

The band’s line up is a colourful and culturally diverse collective that includes; Jeremy Mendonca from California, USA, on bass guitar, acoustic guitar and vocals, violinist Basia Bartz from Poland and Jamie Shaw (from London) on drums.

Keith and Marijana also perform, tour and record TPBR songs as an acoustic duo (footage and recordings of which can be found on the band's website; www.thepennyblackremedy.com).

TPBR released their debut album, ‘No One’s Fault But Your Own’, in May 2009. The album includes many favourites from their live set, such as; Bring Back Brando, 95 Charing Cross Road, Don’t Count On Us, The First Time I Saw Angels and Come Back When You Have More Ambition. The album was released on their own independent label, Soundinistas, and is distributed globally by Cadiz Music.

The band released their much anticipated second album, ‘Inhale... Exhale... OK, Now You Can Panic!’ in July 2013 to rave reviews from the major music press including Q, Uncut, Rock’n’Reel Magazine, The Daily Mirror and Americana UK. The album includes two singles, ‘Some People Just Don’t Know When To Quit’ and ‘Up To My Neck In A Hex’, which was accompanied by their first promo video. Uncut said of the album "Festival folkies hit cross cultural sweet spot!", R2 magazine said "Stand-out track? All of ‘em – turn it up!" and Americana UK said "A boisterous riot of an album... It bursts out of the speakers, dances on the sofa, pogos into the kitchen, drinks all your beer and then boogies round your living room while laughing maniacally!".

The Penny Black Remedy released their third album, 'Maintaining Dignity In Awkward Situations' on 24th November 2017 and immediately garnered much critical praise from the music press. RnR Magazine gave the album a n early glowing 5 Star review, saying 'Lead singer and songwriter for The Penny Black Remedy, Keith M Thomson, is a genius. It is the strength of these genre-straddling songs that makes Maintaining Dignity In Awkward Situations a diamond shining bright amongst the wealth of Gypsy-tinged folk and country bands competing for our attention' and Americana-UK said of the album 'dark and delicious tales from the darkside'. The album was produced by Boz Boorer (Morrissey/The Polecats/Adam Ant) and Keith. It was preceded by the single, 'I'd Murder To Have You Back', which was accompanied by a video, filmed in Dubrovnik, Croatia. The album was released by mono del mundo records and is distributed globally by Cadiz Music.

On the subject of TPBR's music, Thomson says: "The fact that most of the songs are about death, lost love, living in a constant state of crippling paranoid fear and/or coping with the daily grind of everyday life is irrelevant. Encouraging people to sing loudly and out of tune about the absurdity of general existence seems to instill a sense of comfort and emotional unity...I think."

The Penny Black Remedy continue to keep a busy schedule and will be showcasing material from their new album 'Maintaining Dignity In Awkward Situations' on tours of the UK and Europe throughout Winter 2017 into early Spring 2018. And they will be releasing the second single and video from their recent third album in Spring 2018 and plan to release their fourth album in Autumn 2018.

Bend je krenuo s radom 2006. godine iz čiste želje da sviramo neopterećeni rock. Spustili smo štimove na gitarama, radili riffove, nazvali se Cojones i vrlo brzo imali prvi koncert sa našim dugogodišnjim prijateljima iz RUIZ-a. Naša stoner rock priča tada lagano poprima današnje obrise koje stalno preispitujemo i razvijamo. Do sada smo imali 4 europske turneje i mnoštvo svirki po domovini što po klubovima, što po većim festivalima. Dijelili smo pozornicu s mnoštvom prijatelja a i nekim glazbenim uzorima poput Nicka Oliverija (Kyuss, Queens of the Stone Age) i Bambi Molestersa. 
Do sada smo izdali Split EP s našim prijateljima UMOR-om 2008. te samostalni album SUNRISE 2009. Oba se mogu skinuti ili naručiti (CD) sa našeg bandcamp profila... http://cojones.bandcamp.com/
Trenutno snimamo novi album koji će se zvati BEND TO TRANSCEND i slažemo planove za jesen koji uključuju novu turneju i još štošta....

Rock'n'roll!!!

Things got started back in 2006 when four guys from Zagreb went to a rehersal space to play stoner rock, downtuning their guitars and rockin away, unaware that they would soon become a band and that the band would be known as Cojones. So they played and played until they ran out of ideas and were forced to actualy write some songs insted of just droneing away into the abyss of delayed guitar noise and cymbal bashing... and after that they played some more...

Soon after, the first ominus child was born, it was titled Prozac and much like little Damien made its first appearance June 6, 2006 at a club called Spunk where Cojones oppened for their heroes Ruiz on a night that would be rememebered as the night Cojones became a band... and after that they played some more...

Consisted of four long time friends who had been playing together in diferent bands and combinations for years, Cojones early linup was Miro on drums, Bojan on vocals and guitar, Nenad on guitar and Hrvoje aka Jelen on bass guitar. They continued to play local gigs with some of their favourite Croatian bands such as Bastinado, Good Day to Die, Ruiz, Umor, She loves Pablo, Amygdala throughout 2006 and 2007 getting wasted, making music and playing some more...

While moving in the rehersal space with doom brothers Umor, the two bands forged an alliance that was to be called Sonic Doom Records, a label accompanied by a monthly program at the local club Mochvara which would feature stoner/doom/fuzz/drone and all other crazy rock n roll bands from Croatia and abroad...

By the end of 2007 Sonic Doom Records made its first release, a split album titled „Cojones & Umor split lp“, featuring six songs from Cojones and four from Umor, with the cover artwork done by Andro Giunio who would later continue working with the band on other releases, posters and t-shirt designs.

With the split album recorded and on the way, Jelen quit the band to go on a spiritual journey to India, later to come back and continue playing bass guitar in She loves pablo. His substitute was found only a garage away from the Cojones & Umor rehersal space, playing bass in Amygdala. Few beers later Gordan was a full member of Cojones and they were ready to continue playing some more...

March 2008 Cojones & Umor set sail for their first European tour through Austria, Germany, Belgium , Czech republic and Slovenia, promoting their split album, getting wasted, meeting great people and playing every day. The Mammoth March tour was a succes due to the fact that everyone had made it back alive and well.

Once back in Croatia it was time for Cojones to start planing the recording of their first full length album titled „Sunrise“. By that time most of the material had already been written and in May 2008 Cojones entered the studio with Ivor Plužarić. The recording process took longer than planned and the album was finally finished by April 2009 only few days before their second European tour with Umor. During that time the band continued playing gigs and won the YounGunZ festival in Slovenia, playing with a tough competition of both Croatian and Slovenian bands such as Apples of Trees, Mana, KOH, Flyspoon and many more.....

With the album finished, the van full of equipment and a big box of cds, Cojones & Umor once more set sail on a fantastic voyage through the European deserts, mountains of the Alps, Skwat clubs, long nights, highway lane blues, vegan meals, smoke and no rearviewmirrors, old and dear friends, kicker spielen, beers trinken, playing music every day and all that rock n roll madness. This time also going through Switzerland, France, Holland and Italy. By the time the Sun rose, the guys were back in Croatia ready to play some more...

...this time alongside their childhood hero Nick Olivieri of Kyuss and Queens of the Stone age in Ljubljana, November 2009

So where are they now?

...Recording a new album "Bend to Transcend" that will hopefully be released in September... Stay tuned!
