Comprised of Colly Dempsey, Mark O’ Dwyer, Tomas Maher, Niall O’Shaughnessy and David Fitzpatrick, Jester have played festivals and club gigs the length and breadth of the country and beyond, sharing the stage with some of the biggest acts in the country including The Fun Lovin Criminals, The Blizzards and Paul Weller amongst others as well as appearances at Electric Picnic, Feile Classical and headlined the Feile Beag festival in their hometown to a sold out audience as well as opening up for the likes of The Stunning and Aslan.The band have recently signed a publishing deal with UK based independent record label Velvet Moron Records the brainchild of Dave White (Biffy Clyro, Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds, Kasabian, etc.) and their debut album is set for release in March 2019 on the label.

‘In The Meantime’ gives us a taste of what Jester have in store with their upcoming album. It’s a passionate number with a fist pumping chorus,sweet melody and a tight anthemic wall of sound. It’s a big tune filled with those simple pleasures that hit all the right spots- jangly guitars, steady rhythmic bounces, lush backing vocals and an elastic bass rumble. This tender ditty is easy on the ears as it travels along a bittersweet melancholic melody while smooth vocals seep emotion into the track before it explodes into the sing along ready chorus. Light vibrant guitar elements crash and flicker between that sublime bass line while punchy drums and the ethereal breezy atmosphere floods the track in lonely, icy tones. It’s slick, polished and well crafted as Jester surge soul and meaning into every bruised note. It’s the sound of raw heartfelt passion canned and compressed for your aural pleasure.
