CREEPING JEAN

or those of you who haven’t listened to Creeping Jean’s music, from the band name alone you could be forgiven for imagining a sound that is quietly tiptoeing out of the shadows. You’d be wrong. With soaring melodies counterbalancing guitar riffs like chainsaws, this band isn’t creeping from the darkness, it’s sprinting towards the light. With the group’s songs being played on stations such as Radio One, 6 Music and Radio X, the band are gaining both momentum and acclaim. Having just finished their first record, , BN1 spoke to the group’s founding member, Oliver Tooze, about their musical influences, how lockdown affected the recording process, and what fans can look forward to from their debut album.
