'An infectious Indie Rock' - CLASH

‘It's got stadium filler written all over it.' - It's All Indie

'They’ve got the whole package; youthful good looks, killer tunes, rock ‘n’ roll attitude and more energy than Usain Bolt after a binge on Bovril, Speed and Lucozade.' - Louder Than War

'Liverpool's brightest prospects' – GigWise

'The band most likely to 'do a Catfish' and explode' - GigSlutz


Formed in 2014, dubbed by Fred Perry Subculture and This Feeling as “Big in 2016”, Liverpool based four piece The Jackobins have taken the UK's music scene by storm, headlining and selling out venues across the country whilst appearing on some of the UK’s most prestigious festivals including: Reading & Leeds, Isle of Wight, Kendal Calling, Victorious, Tramlines, Live at Leeds, Dot to Dot, Sound City and Y Not Festival amongst many others.

The band has been championed by BBC Introducing Merseyside DJ Dave Monks, giving the band heavy airplay and inviting them for a live session, whist Radio X made their singles 'Hasty' and 'Nightfire' Track of The Week. 

Their latest two singles stirred a buzz around airing on BBC Introducing Merseyside, BBC 6, Radio 2 and Radio X.

Hasty - charted at #4 in Holland , 14 in Norway and 57 in Germany on iTunes.

After a two year hiatus they’re back with their NEW single “Tomorrowland” which is about all about moving past bad relationships and leaving negativity behind to push forward and show the doubters what you’re really capable of…moving beyond yesterday into ‘Tomorrowland’.

Since emerging nearly ten years ago, Too Pure has uncovered some of the hottest new, underground talent that has been on offer.

Now, in our 10th year Too Pure is still working with the same passion for uncovering the unheard, unsung, future heroes of music. 2011 has seen fantastic releases from artists such as Mush & Drahla and we’re continuing to push things forward with upcoming releases from the likes of Seize The Chair, Pet Crow plus many more.
