### **Jody and The Jerms present ‘Started Something’, first sugar-spun pop delight from new ‘Wonder’ LP**

#### **LP Out April 21**

_“It’s almost like power pop, a bit Bangles… or jangle pop. Lovely” _~ **Radcliffe&
Maconie, BBC 6 Music**

_“Jody had to be coerced into singing, and she does it really well. It’s good isn’t
it!” _~ **Janice Long – BBC Wales**

_“Aglow in sugar-spun pop confections and unforgettable harmonies that conjures 
the jangling heyday of The Bangles and the buoyant rhythms of The Regrettes… Jody
and the Jerms summon the summer in the most effortless of ways”_ ~ **Stereo Embers
Magazine**

_“All exquisite… Breathtaking stuff”_ ~** Oxfordshire Music Scene**

UK indie pop outfit [**Jody and the Jerms**](http://www.jodyandthejerms.com/) are
hot to trot with their new single [**‘Started Something**‘](https://youtu.be/TjNc8F-1p_E),
the first taste of their forthcoming full-length album [**‘Wonder’**](https://jodyandthejerms.bandcamp.com/),
out in April via their own **JATJ Records** imprint.

Their third album to date, this new collection of 12 tracks was produced, mixed 
and mastered by **RIDE** frontman [**Mark Gardener**](https://twitter.com/MarkGardener)
at his [**OX4 Sound Studio**](https://www.ox4sound.co.uk/) in Oxfordshire. Loaded
with a healthy dose of melodic chrystallised indie pop that is heartfelt and honest,
they present endearing jangle-pop songs that are both evocative and relatable.

Championed by the late **Janice Long **at** BBC**, among others, Jody and the Jerms
is a collective revolving around **Jody Jeger (vocals) **and** Niall Jeger (guitars
and vocals) **with other band members coming from [**The Anydays**](https://www.facebook.com/theanydays),
who have graced the pages of NME, played with Radiohead and Supergrass, and were
featured on Mark Radcliffe at BBC Radio 2.

‘Wonder’ follows their [**‘Flicker’ album**](https://jodyandthejerms.bandcamp.com/album/flicker)(
2022) and debut album[ **‘Deeper’ **](https://jodyandthejerms.bandcamp.com/album/deeper)(
2020). Here, the Jerms deliver 12 jangle-pop gems, crafted with a sanguine innocence
and vivid relatability. Warmly nostalgic and graced by Jody’s sweet-natured vocal,
the band’s output radiates somewhere between The Go-Go’s, Blondie, The Bangles and
The Darling Buds.

Formed in Oxford in 2019, Jody and the Jerms have been writing, recording and performing
their blend of melodic and uplifting indie/ alt rock ever since, having enjoyed 
national airtime on **Radio X (UK), Sirius XM (USA) and RTVE (Spain)**, as well 
as** BBC 6 Music, BBC Introducing, BBC Wales **and** BBC Ulster**.

Despite the fact that Jody had never sung before joining the Jerms, the band has
quickly developed into the real deal with last year’s ‘Flicker’ album, which received
strong accolades with its modern twist on 90s influences, followed by a loaded UK
tour and festivals over the summer.
Jody and the Jerms’ sound harks back to those
untouchable days indie music enjoyed in the 90s, possessing seemingly effortlessness
melodies and choruses which embed themselves in your head for days.

“‘Started Something’ is about a chance meeting of two people which is so exciting
and special that it just knocks them off their feet. Everything between them just
clicks and fizzes with passion and verve. There are many reasons why they shouldn’t
start something in this dreary world , with all their day in day out humdrum responsibilities,
so they imagine that the world has stopped turning for everyone else, whilst they
can have their time together,” says **Jody**.

**Niall Jeger** adds, “Musically, this started as a riff on an acoustic, as many
of our songs do, which Rob followed on piano and the rest of the song came together
really quickly”.

As of February 15, ‘Started Something’ is available on [**Bandcamp**](https://jodyandthejerms.bandcamp.com/)**,**
[**Spotify**](https://open.spotify.com/artist/3OpdHr4yd6dWoUbrdHCbaV)**, **[**Apple Music**](https://music.apple.com/us/artist/jody-and-the-jerms/1482417303)
and other fine digital music platforms. The ‘Wonder’ album will be released on April
21 and available on limited edition CD, pretty pink vinyl and digitally.

In support of this release, Jody and the Jerms will be performing for select UK 
dates with more dates to be added. Further info can be found at [https://jodyandthejerms.com/live](https://jodyandthejerms.com/live)
