BRITISH four-piece Boy Jumps Ship will be heading to the Globe, Cardiff on February 16 as main support to Scottish rockers Fatherson.

Hailing from north-east England, Boy Jumps Ship have gained a reputation for their energetic, passionate and exuberant live performances up and down the country and around Europe.

Audiences find themselves instantly connecting with their unavoidably addictive, massive melodic choruses and heavy-hitting riffs.

With the aid of a generous grant form the PRS for Music Foundation's Momentum Award, the band headed down to The Premises studio in London working with producer Larry Habbit to make their debut album 'Wake Up' due for release via Amazing Record Co on April 22.

Frontman Si Todd said: “Without the amazing support we've had from the PRS Foundation we wouldn't have been able to make the record, the work they do for bands like ourselves is so vital, we couldn't be more grateful.”

The band took advantage of the financial freedom the award allowed to work with a long admired producer, Larry Hibbit.

“Larry helped us to capture the sound of our band exactly how we imagined it," added Si.

“We've always said that when we eventually recorded our debut album, we would take our time and get it right. From a performance aspect, we all pushed ourselves to completely different levels this time around, we put our heart and soul into these songs and we couldn't be more proud of how they turned out!”
