Jukebox Collective
"‘It is Scroobius Pip with a Kaiser Chiefs keyboard and an Art Brut album." - Steve Lamacq
With influences from 70’s New York and 80’s Manchester, Jukebox Collective have crafted a sound that has an appreciation of the past, whilst remaining vibrantly current. Rooted in the blistering rhythm section courtesy of Josh Williams (drums) and Nick Caulkett (Bass, synths), Greg Keegan’s razor edged guitars provide the perfect backdrop for Kevin Sewell’s tales from the city.
Currently spinning in Topshop NYC, Jukebox Collective recently held no. 1 spot on the Amazing radio chart in May for 3 weeks and have also been a regular feature on Hype Machine.
