New striking strokes

22 March 2024

Band: PAPA JUPE’S T.C.
Who: Group founded in Cardiff in 2017 by frontman and lyricist Harry Willicombe
and multi-instrumentalist Sam Butcher. Together, the pair undertake the majority of songwriting duties in a partnership dating back to 2013 with indie-rockers
“Mirror Gorillas”.

New single: HIGH VALUE MAN

Harry Willicombe (frontman): “There’s an epidemic of young impressionable boys being influenced by narcissistic figures on social media. We decided to approach this issue with satire so wrote the song in the first-person, from the perspective of a “High Value Male”. We recite the type of nonsense they often come out with, and then let Gem come in with a rejection before the final chorus.”

Gemini Anderson (co-vocalist): “We based the takedown on actual quotes by the worst one of the bunch. We don’t want to say his name, but I think we all know who he is. It felt right using his own words against his cause.”

TUTV: This disco-punk sucker-punch is just perfect to start and end all (il)legal club nights with. It’s a jiving bass-insane jackhammer that doubles your adrenaline production on the spot and triggers your craziest body contortions.

The orgastic ‘dance with me’ chorus rev up the sultry temperature and invites you to go mental, like a kangaroo on E. London‘s cooking dancefloor wackadoos Warmduscher should take these Welshmen/woman on the road with them. Frisky fun guaranteed. Machos not allowed.

Press play.
