Jody And The Jerms are a sextet from Oxford, formed in 2019. Founded by former members of The Anydays, the band are fronted by the singular Jody, who remarkably had never sung in front of anyone until the band began. Finding her calling and an instant chemistry with the vintage-flecked indie of the Jerms, within a matter of weeks of their formation, grand plans of original material and tours soon began to form with a natural ease.

“Jody had never sung before but I roped her into trying a song in the studio on the premise that I would do it if she didn't” jokes Niall, “fortunately for everyone's ears it worked out.”

Playing just one gig before the pandemic took hold, lockdown may have quickly scuppered Jody and the Jerms’ touring plans, but it would ultimately prove to be a major catalyst in accelerating their studio dreams.

Using the time to record a full album’s worth of tracks and secure a vinyl distribution deal, the band pressed on to release their warmly received debut album ‘Deeper’ in September. Against the odds, its singles like “It’s All Up To You” and “Deeper” won over fans at key radio outlets like BBC Introducing, BBC 6 Music, Radio X, BBC Ulster, RTE and Sirius XM. The Jerms even proved to be a surprise hit with a Spanish audience, earning support from various national media and the wider public there.

As the live music circuit slowly reopens all these months later, Jody & The Jerms’ ‘Sensation’ EP will be the perfect release to kick off a summer of live performance; capturing all the passion, fun and energy that the future of music holds.
