2012 was a great year for Jim Lockey &The Solemn Sun. Following a phenomenal summer that saw them play a storming set at the 2000trees Festival packing out the tent; they received glorious praise from Radio 1’s Zane Lowe for their single ‘England’s Dead’ which was his ‘Next Hype Record’; toured the full length of the UK with Frank Turner & The Sleeping Souls on their sold out tour and performed live alongside Frank at the Olympics Opening Ceremony to an estimated audience of 25million people.

“Acoustic-led songs that bristle with an energy redolent of a punk rock record collection and live concerts in hot rooms. A blast.”4/5 Kerrang!

“Death is a triumph!”5/5 Big Cheese

“A Mumfords-like blend of folk, country and punk” NME
