The review of the jointpop album “The January Transfer Window”
Get happy with jointpop, an alluring talent with an abundance of terrific tunes. Their new album, “The January Transfer Window” has some of the best indie/rock songs you will hear throughout 2008. “Yoko Ono” is instantly infectious with husky vocals completed with charming guitar riffs.You would imagine this band to be an immense festival band with their excellently written sunny songs. Harking back to a genre and artists before them, jointpop possess a little of the nineties Brit scene, which only adds to their likeable qualities. Carrying no attitude or image, these guys are simply an immense talent with equally good songs. “The Spelling Bee” is a cute song with great lyrics, catchy guitar riffs and the fabulous vocals from lead singer Gary Hector. I am hooked on their fantastic new album, give these fellows a listen and you will be too. jointpop are definitely one to watch out for in 2008.
"Incorporating a powerful mix of piano, guitar solos and fabulous drums, Jointpop have inherited a sound that is second to none. A happy, summery, band with a host of belting songs that will have you hitting the repeat button over and over." Carla Callaghan, http://icscotland.co.uk/ (May 2008)
"The songs on 'TJTW' are excellently written" Scorch Magazine (May 2008)
"The January Transfer Window has some of the best indie/rock songs you will hear throughout 2008". Reverb Magazine (Mar 2008)
"If you want to hear a band and a record that you never heard before that delivers unique, honest and welcoming rock and roll, The January Transfer Window is a definite get". The Architect, ownthismusic.com (Nov 2007)
"Desperate Houseflies is a valuable document, showcasing a hardworking band that deserves to tell its story—and to have it heard. Lovelace’s depiction is at once revealing, optimistic and very beautiful". Gillian Moore, Trinidad Guardian (Oct 2007)
"The January transfer Window, jointpop's latest CD, is the band's most assured and satisfying release to date, and it will be an outright tragedy if it proves anything less than a success". Caribbean Beat (Oct 2007)
"The January Transfer Window is a refreshing take on the band's style, presenting innovation, but never losing sight of the heart and soul of jointpop". Liam Camps, Trinidad Guardian (July 2007)
"Memorable, danceable melodies, poetic lyrics, and skillful-at times brilliant-instrumentation, energy, humour and bad-ass attitude". Gillian Moore, Trinidad Guardian (June 2007)

It reminded me of a conversation I had with someone close to me who is battling depression. At one point during our chat, I told her she should "...boldly move forward and don't look down"...but that Emerson quote would have been a nice addition to the conversation. HA!
Greetings from Scotland. Thanks veyr much for the add. Yer tunes are great. sadly I won't be able to make your Glasgow shows but have fun - the Free Candy Sessions nights are brilliant fun. Cheers. Andy
Plan for the next trip or even this one, it's never too late!!! Luton Airport leaving on a Easyjet flight to Geneva. Concerts in Annecy, at least three in a week. Not hard to organise. We have the gear and it's warm and sunny, finally!!! We should have thought of this earlier. If not next rounds!!! M*A*D
