Single - Please Don't Tell My In-Laws (I'm An Outlaw) / Monday Morning Love Situation

Play 90 second soundbite of 'Please Don't Tell My In-Laws (I'm An Outlaw)' @ 'CD quality'

Here's one that really is a bit different; Jointpop, perhaps the name gives you a clue, a raunchy melee of joined-up pop with attitude and more than a bit of charisma - singalongable, danceable and totally joininable good-time party music.

Jointpop sound like nobody other than Jointpop; the way they've managed to pull together a few scratchy Caribbean influences, some elementary elements of punk and some basic rock themes and come up with a wonderfully poppish sound is quite unbelievable. Although distinctly modernesque, there is also quite a retro feel to Jointpop's catchy music and the end product is, strangely, some kinda party-themed, hand-clappin, foot stompin, joyously happy sound that just gets under yer skin (in the nicest possible way!).

With summer on the way I can easily see Jointpop making a big impression with their rough-edged but infectiously compelling heart-warming wares; imagine, cold beer in the gazebo, spicy jerk chicken finishing on the BBQ, speakers throbbin on a hot sweaty night and much dancin' and a'prancin' round the garden - just put Jointpop on the deck and let it rip - they'll get the party started alright!!

My one doubt about Jointpop's somewhat quirky way is that it could so easily get out of control and just become a short-lived gimmicky pop phase that'll blow itself out all too soon. I really hope not though cuz Jointpop are at least offering something with a bit of sparkle to it, something inherently simplistic but really smart, something to bring a smile to yer face and put a spark in yer step. 'Please Don't Tell My In-Laws (I'm An Outlaw)' / 'Monday Morning Love Situation' by Jointpop sticks two fingers up at pop convention and kicks sand in the face of indie normality - lovely stuff!!
