About US:

Jails cover of ‘Sheila take a bow’ has featured on The compilation ‘Keeping up with the Smiths’ alongside such luminaries as Filthy Pedro, Thomas Truax, and The Bobby McGees. See www.Myspace.com/smithscoversalbum for full details.

The track Renaissance Man has featured on Resonance FM during Stewart Lee's lunchtime slot and also on Rare FM, from the "Circle:\line and Frienz: free EP. The EP follows the release of the bands debut album 'Riot At The Health Club'. This CD features the song 'Nice Day To Know You' which has featured on several compilation CDs including Flitwick records and Matchbox recordings. The Song has also reached Number 5 in the Peoplesound charts, with over a hundred downloads. The album is out now in shops in Basildon, Leigh-on-sea, London and Colchester.

The other EP 'Alive in London Town ' has also sold many copies in Fopp record stores nationwide, without much promotion, also getting into the top 5 of the Fopp Unsigned charts. Hardcore!

Jail have also performed many gigs in London and Leeds as well as the Roadhouse in Manchester, they have played in 'The Rocket' live venue, The Cherry Jam, The Bull and Gate, The Betsy Trotwood and the Dublin Castle. Their first gig was at The Royal Park Cellars in Leeds in December 2001. However Jail have never played a venue without the word ‘the’ to start the title. Fact.

Jail have also featured on the DeXter Bentley show ‘Hello Goodbye’ on the 16th July and 17th December of 2005, playing a session incorporating: Circle:/line, Renaissance man, Rabid confusion and Agenda 21. Niceday to Know You and Helmore Street were played on the 17th of December on the same show. These downloads can be found on this website. ‘Hello Goodbye’ is on Saturdays 12-1pm 104.4fm (Resonance FM). It’s a good show so give it a listen.

‘Niceday To Know You’ has also featured on Manchesters’ Radio Nowhere and was on the playlist for a week in 2003 alongside artists such as Grandaddy and Blur. Jail also regularly feature on RareFM, UCLs’ own student radio station.

A bootleg version of Renaissance man that was featured on the same radio station is available as well, this song features Rachel Kann as guest poet rapper and saxophonist Mike Walter. Check out the downloads page for this as well. Latest gigs will be featured below. Thanks.
