Jamie T's Panic Provention!

'We've been waiting for him longer than he could possibly know' - NME

Having put on a series of mixtapes and club nights, Jaime T’s ‘Panic Prevention’ is a record which portrays a blurry, boozy and chaotic world. Influenced as much by The Clash, Tom Waits, Rancid and The Specials as the drum’n’bass and garage that surrounded him while growing up, the 20 year old has created a mad scramble of sonic diary entries about his recent experiences, and those of his mates.

Armed only with an acoustic bass guitar, a teenage Jamie begun playing the backrooms of pubs in Soho and Twickenham, playing his solo show of tales of life in identikit suburbia and what it is to be a young man growing up in 1990’s Britain.

Determined to avoid any of the clichés that acoustic playing implies, Jamie decided to fuse his loose folky songs, with a punk, reggae and hip hop tinge. This was done by recording in his bedroom, with the budget equipment usually used to create drum'n'bass and garage tracks. The result is an uncategorisable and exciting new sound!

Following his recent UK tour which culminated with an appearance as special guest of ‘The Good, The Bad and The Queen’ at the Electric Proms, Jamie T and his band will hit the road again in January 2007 for a 12-date tour.

The single ‘Calm Down Dearest’ is released on January 8th.

The album ‘Panic Prevention’ is released on January 22nd.
