John J Presley is an English gent with a penchant for fuzz. Sonically a modern day Tom Waits with a full back catalogue of Kills records, and a nod to the songwriting mastery of Nick Cave. It is a story of breaking the mould, a love affair with tone, a strict discipline and desire to create something a bit different.
Some say think Jack White meets Tom Waits. We say it is its own beast. Alongside the unmistakable guitar tone of Presley are driving bass lines from a Fender Rhodes, warm vocal harmonies and thick drones from their
harmonium.
John and his band have gained a great reputation live too; this year alone they’ve shared stages with Band of Skulls, The Amazing Snakeheads and Pulled Apart By Horses to name a few. Their debut release ‘Left’ saw a wave
of support from the likes of Zane Lowe, Phil Taggart, Alice Levine, John Kennedy (XFM) and made the evening playlists on both XFM and Amazing Radio.
