Jack Jones - Jack Jones

Trampolene frontman Jack Jones released his eponymous debut solo album on Friday. Julia Grantham took a listen and concludes that perhaps every adult needs a Jack Jones song to guide them along the path of life.

The Libertines / Ed Cosens / Trampolene / Dead Freights - Manchester Academy - 6th December 2021

The Libertines' Giddy Up A Ding-Dong Tour rolled into a sold-out and packed to the rafters Manchester Academy on Monday night for an ecstatic celebration of the work of one of the country's most-loved bands playing to an audience of young and old. Support came from Dead Freights, Trampolene and Ed Cosens.

Trampolene / Ist Ist / Fruit Tones - Blackburn Confessional Festival - 8th September 2018

Confessional Festival takes place every year in Blackburn, where a disused church is turned into the perfect indoor festival venue by the folks behind the successful Night At The Museum events. This year's bill included the likes of Trampolene, Ist Ist and Fruit Tones.

Trampolene - Manchester Night And Day - 26th April 2018

One of the nation's most unpredictable and underappreciated bands Trampolene returned to the Night And Day for the Manchester leg of their tour. A hot and sweaty crowd were treated to a mix of tracks from their debut album Swansea To Hornsey, a couple of covers and some impromptu old favourites.

TRACK OF THE DAY : Trampolene - Hard Times For Dreamers

It might only be six months since Trampolene released their debut album Swansea To Hornsey, but one of the hardest working bands in the country are back with their new single Hard Times For Dreamers ahead of an extensive UK tour.

Even The Stars Top Albums Of 2017 - 15 to 11

Our Top 25 albums of 2017 countdown continues today with the albums we ranked 15 to 11 of those released this year. Feel free to tweet us your favourites and why you think our list is great / predictable / preposterous.

Trampolene - Swansea To Hornsey

It's been a long wait for Swansea To Hornsey as Trampolene have bided their time until the moment was right to release an album, satisfying their growing fan base with a series of weird, wonderful and varied EPs and we're delighted to say that diversity is also present and correct on their debut album.

Trampolene - Interview

Welsh trio Trampolene release their long-awaited debut LP Swansea To Hornsey via Pledge Music next week ahead of a This Feeling tour in November and a series of Liam Gallagher support slots in December. We caught up with front man Jack Jones to talk about what took them so long, how they chose the tracklisting after multiple EPs, his poetry and supporting the likes of The Libertines and Liam Gallagher.

Trampolene - Divided Kingdom (Pocket Album Five)

Divided Kingdom is the fifth in the series of Pocket Albums that Trampolene have released over the past couple of years. As with previous releases there's a huge variety on show from full-on everything turned up rock songs to delicate heartwrenching acoustic tracks and poetry from one of Britain's most underrated bands.

Trampolene - The Gangway EP (Pocket Album Four)

Trampolene's The Gangway EP is subtitled Pocket Album Four and continues their fine tradition of periodically releasing five tracks ahead of recording their debut album. Like its predecessors it's a heady and wild mix of rock and roll that deals both in subtleties and foot to the floor amplification with poetry and an ambitious take on a cover, this time The Cure's Friday I'm In Love, to boot.

New York Tourists / Trampolene / Crimsons / Crossfire - Manchester Night And Day - 4th June 2016

The Night And Day provided the home (our second one) to the latest Scruff Of The Neck Records showcase night featuring four very different bands from Manchester and further afield. New York Tourists headed up a bill featuring South Wales heroes Trampolene, local three-piece Crimsons and the stunning Crossfire playing only their seventh gig.

Peter Doherty / The April Rainers / Jack Jones (Trampolene) - Manchester Albert Hall - 17th May 2016

Peter Doherty brought his Eudamonia tour to Manchester's Albert Hall on Tuesday night. Mixing solo material with that of his bands The Libertines and Babyshambles was an interesting contrast in style and pace before an adoring crowd. Support came from The April Rainers and Trampolene's Jack Jones.

When In Manchester Festival - Cupids, Trampolene, Girl Friend, Louie Louie, Bang Bang Romeo, Lunar, Foxe - 16th April 2016

 

Urban festivals are becoming all the rage these days, but When In Manchester is one with a difference. It has a true DIY ethos to it that's different to the increasingly corporate ones where major labels see them as a showcase and a testing ground for their potential next big things. When In Manchester was conceived by four young women on a night out and then became reality through lots of ground level hard work and planning to create something that's both intimate, diverse in its line-up and a true testament to being able to do what you want in music if you put your hearts and minds into it.

Trampolene - Pocket Album Three

The third in the series of Trampolene's Pocket Albums is set to expand their fanbase with its lead track It's Not Rock And Roll already having secured them radio play, but it's the diversity of the material that makes them stand out (as it did with the previous pocket albums - or EPs as those of us old enough to remember called them).

Whiteboy / Trampolene / Bad Molly - Manchester Night And Day - 25th July 2015

This Feeling's club nights at the Night And Day always deliver a quality contrasting mix of local and national talents and July's was no exception. Headlined by local heroes White Boy, still counting the number of gigs on their fingers and alongside them Welsh heroes Trampolene making a long overdue and welcome return to Manchester as well as Bad Molly who are earning themselves a growing reputation here too, the crowd was treated to three very different yet in their own way exceptional bands.

Trampolene : Pocket Album Two

Trampolene have been around for a couple of years now. After a couple of thrilling early singles, they released their first Pocket Album last year and are following it up with a second one, effectively a five-track EP. It retains all the chaotic thrills of their previous releases from their loud guitar assaults on the senses to a more sensitive battered and bruised reflection on life and love.

Track Of The Day : Trampolene - Imagine Something Yesterday

Welsh three-piece Trampolene were one of our tips for 2015. Ahead of the release of their second "pocket album" on March 16th, they've revealed the first track from it - Imagine Something Yesterday, which is today's Track Of The Day.
