PRESS RELEASE
Cristina EP
released 19th June 2013 on major digital platforms

Desperate Journalist are a band from London. Veering from gothic anti-ballads to driving disco punk, their sound is one of melody and melodrama.

Lead track Cristina is a perfect three minute noise-pop record, literate lyrics about the frustration of settling for comfortable adult routines carried by an impassioned, soaring vocal, brightly anthemic twelve string guitar lines and a forceful, elegant rhythm section.
Mistakes follows, exhibiting the band’s eloquent tunefulness again and leading with a punchy, disco-inflected bassline and beat; the lyrics all self-conscious regret
expressed with sarcastic wit. The set takes a turn into more abrasive territory with Kitten, a ferocious post-punk mantra, its ‘Never apologise, never explain’ refrain building to a shrieking climax. Wait is a cinematic, gothic closer based around a lugubrious bassline and whispering drums with flashes of sharp guitars shifting between dreamlike cascades of choruses.

The band’s first gig, in the appropriately contrary setting of a grunge club night, was rapturously received and since then the band have gained a passionate following from a series of intense and popular gigs throughout the capital, as well as releasing a self-directed video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eLFRVPhgtqU) for the eponymous track from their forthcoming ‘Cristina’ EP, released digitally on 19th June.

Desperate Journalist are: Jo Bevan (voice), Rob Hardy (guitar), Simon Drowner (bass) & Caz Hellbent (drums)

Desperate Journalist - Cristina

Desperate Journalist are two boys and two girls who live in North London. They consist of Jo
Bevan (vocals), Simon Drowner (bass), Rob Hardy (guitar) and Caz Hellbent (drums). Lured together by fate
and a fierce sense of what makes alternative music actually really bloody alternative they started their journey
at the local Negative Creep grunge club night in Finsbury Park on February 23rd 2013 and have barely
looked back since.
