About The Jamestown Union

"Note-perfect, with a polished sound, masterfully layered with harmonica, pedal steel and banjo, one of Brighton’s best bands."

'LATEST 7 MAGAZINE MARCH 08'

""After Jan Bell came The Jamestown Union from Brighton, UK. These UK boys really delivered a diverse and entertaining set. They had a bit more of a country/rock feel to them. The musicians in this band are incredibly talented. Their songs are tastefully written and have a great amount of depth to them. It’s hard to nail The Jamestown Union down to one style of music as every song seemed to take something from another style of music than the one before. I definitely wasn’t ready for the sort of energetic performance that the Jamestown Union provided. They really helped me take off my blinders in terms of what to expect from their style of music."

'TORONTO NORTH BY NORTHEAST LIVE REVIEW 07'

""I had to make a quick stopover to check out The Jamestown Union, from Brighton in the UK. A band I've known of for a while now, they offer something different from the usual indie guitar-led fare. With influences ranging from The Beatles to Johnny Cash, they offer a uniquely British slant on Alt rock. And any band that downs a few stiff ones to get in the mood beforehand will always get my vote!"

'TORONTO NORTH BY NORTHEAST FESTIVAL REVIEW 07'

"Effortlessly melodic & full of sweet melancholy...The Jamestown Union's Alt Rock is flawless -ALBUM OF THE MONTH"

'SOUND ON SOUND MARCH 07'

"An astonishingly assured and hugely listenable debut album, it’s one of the best things I’ve heard all year. why The Jamestown Union haven’t been signed is the mystery of the year. Go to their website and buy this album now, but be warned that if you do you may have difficulty in listening to anything else for a fair while."
