The Jim Jones Revue is an English garage rock band comprising Jim Jones (formerly of Thee Hypnotics), Rupert Orton, Gavin Jay, Nick Jones and Elliot Mortimer. The band compare their sound to artists such as The Birthday Party, MC5, Johnny Thunders, The Gun Club, The Sonics and Little Richard.[1]


The band was formed after Jim Jones met Rupert Orton at his Not The Same Old Blues Crap club night in London.[2] In 2008, the band recorded their self-titled debut album in just 48 hours, in a rehearsal space in Camden Town, London.[2] The album was released on 8th September 2008 via Punk Rock Blues Records.


After a collection of singles and B-sides was released on 5th October 2009 - entitled Here To Save Your Soul - the band have since recorded their second album, Burning Your House Down. This second album is scheduled for release on 6th September 2010 and will be released through PIAS Recordings. High Horse will be the first single and will be released in advance on 23rd August 2010.


Musical Style

Their style has been compared to early rock and roll artists Jerry Lee Lewis and Little Richard[3][4] as well to punk rock bands such as The Stooges, MC5 and Motorhead.[4][5]


In reference to the band's second album, The Guardian's Michael Hann said that, "Burning Your House Down sounds like a gangfight set to 12-bar blues" and that "The Jim Jones Revue imagine that rock'n'roll didn't really need to evolve after 1956; it just needed to get much, much louder, and wildly more distorted".[3]
