Twitchy, socially minded, acerbic post-punk has always felt natural for Liverpool trio\u00a0Eyesore &amp; The Jinx.There was never a plan to be a \u2018political band\u2019, it\u2019s purely the result of writing about what they see and feel in their lived experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Leisure Time\u00a0<\/em>feels like a new phase. A very different tempo, a different groove, a different approach \u2013\u00a0\u00a0sharpened in the studio with producer Daniel Fox, also known as the bassist from Dublin\u2019s much loved\u00a0Girl Band. What Eyesore &amp; The Jinx do very well is create absolutely dreadful characters that live at the heart of each track. Commenting on modern life in Britain without the need to preach political views.\u00a0The video, their second\u00a0by animator\u00a0<a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=8Xzt7VSkdcs&amp;t=5s\">PSTL CSTL<\/a>, ties in with the themes of the song by turning a holiday resort into the setting of a video-game shoot \u2018em up, starring the band \u2013 armed with water pistols, glow-sticks, beach umbrellas and more.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Josh Miller (bassist and singer) of the band says about the track\u00a0<em>\u201cFrom the perspective of an unhinged holiday maker, \u2018Leisure Time\u2019 points a greasy, heavily lotioned finger at the care-free nature of the British expat. Whose enduring commitment to enjoying themselves, at the expense of other cultures, remains as visible and as grotesque as ever. It is, in short, a sun-stroked blather on the most miserable of holidays.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/em>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eyesore &amp; The Jinx are part of an exciting group of bands and artists that make up the cohort of Merseyside tastemakers\u00a0Eggy Records. The label acts as a co-operative, a supportive group of creatives and misfits who have built something very special, recently profiled by the\u00a0NME. There seems to be a spotlight on what is happening with this group of artists, with Eggy being selected to host a showcase at this year\u2019s BBC 6Music Festival, of which Eyesore &amp; The Jinx headlined, not to mention Eyesore\u2019s recent trip to Russia to play two festivals as part of the\u00a0UK Russia Year of Music\u00a0with label mate newbies\u00a0STORES. Their first international trip as a band was certainly a memorable one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Their sphere of influence is quickly expanding out of their home region. Their last two singles received extensive national radio support, including a 6Music Roundtable win for <em>On An Island<\/em> produced by Jonathan Hartley from iconic Liverpool psych-surgeons\u00a0Clinic. Their most recent single <em>Swill<\/em> was the first track they recorded with Daniel Fox alongside Matt Freeman at\u00a0Fresh Goods Studio, Birkenhead. This relationship worked very well and the band headed back in soon after to record their forthcoming EP.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Leisure Time<\/em>\u00a0is the first single to come from this future release, funded by a special\u00a0PRS<strong> <\/strong>Foundation\u00a0Momentum fund in conjunction with Liverpool City Council.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alongside announcing their forthcoming appearance at Eurosonic Festival in January, they have also shared a small number of November shows, including a headline appearance at the Finsbury in London on the 15<sup class=\"\">th<\/sup>\u00a0(free entry).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Live dates <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>November<\/strong><br>Friday 15<sup class=\"\">th<\/sup>\u00a0\u2013 The Finsbury, London (FREE headline)<br>Saturday 16<sup class=\"\">th<\/sup>\u00a0\u2013 Restless Bear, St Mary\u2019s Creative Space, Chester<br>Saturday 16<sup class=\"\">th<\/sup>\u00a0\u2013 Eggy Records, SOUND, Liverpool (headline)<br><br><strong>January<\/strong><br>Sunday 12<sup class=\"\">th<\/sup>\u00a0\u2013 Rockaway Beach Festival, Bognor Regis<br>Thursday 16<sup class=\"\">th<\/sup>\u00a0\u2013 Eurosonic Festival, Groningen, The Netherlands<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Eyesore &amp; The Jinx have shared the video for their new single Leisure Time.
