Trampolene

TRAMPOLENE’s latest album Rules of Love & War was released March 2023 and entered the UK Official Independent Albums chart at no.5 and Independent Breakers chart at no.1, matching 2021's Love No Less Than A Queen. Their debut album Swansea to Hornsey (2017), entered the UK Indie chart at no.10 and was described by Q Magazine as a “brilliant debut album from indie gutter poets…” and was in The Independent’s ‘Top 10 albums of the Year’. 2018's double album Pick A Pocket Or Two is a compilation of songs and poems from their EPs ("Pocket Albums") which weren't included on Swansea to Hornsey. TRAMPOLENE's shows include headlining Swansea Arena, Scala in London, Manchester’s Deaf Institute; appearing at festivals like BBC Biggest Weekend, Glastonbury, Truck, Y Not, Kendal Calling, The Great Escape, Victorious, plus London Calling in Amsterdam. They've played shows across Europe and also supported Liam Gallagher, The Libertines, Kasabian, Buzzcocks, Reverend & The Makers, Catfish & the Bottlemen and more. Lead singer/guitarist Jack Jones is a spoken word poet and has toured solo (music & poetry), supported Peter Doherty as a solo artist and performed his poems at London’s O2 Arena opening for The Libertines, and is also lead guitarist in Peter Doherty & the Puta Madres, whose debut self-titled album (2019), includes the single Paradise Is Under Your Nose, co-written by Jack and Peter. In 2019 BBC Radio 4 broadcast a documentary of Jack & TRAMPOLENE entitled “Another Swansea Poet”.
