Jopy
Jopy are a Brighton based three-piece led by songwriter Jo Parnell, and released the Planet Zombie EP on Goo Records on 20th September 2024. Featuring six tracks including recent singles Head Hunters Pub & Grub and Graveyard Romance, the EP showcases the band's B52s/Cramps influenced glam punk sound chocker with incendiary punk riffs and frantically infectious choruses. Full of macabre joy, the EP sees Parnell celebrate her trans identity through fantastical camp-horror fictions via Marc Bolan-esque vocals rolled into one blood-curdlingly gleeful package. Tracing these songs' deeply personal origins, Parnell says: “I want to write songs that people can relate to and feel seen by without having to relive the more difficult aspects of their journeys. This is why I chose to convey my experiences in the form of fun, campy horror stories.” Finding early press backing from So Young, DIY, NME, Record Collector, LOUD WOMEN, God Is In The TV and The Most Radicalist - as well as airplay on BBC Radio 6Music (Amy Lamé, Deb Grant) and Radio X (John Kennedy), Jopy have just completed their first UK tour and will release their next single on 28 February 2025, ahead of their 2025 SXSW appearance.
