You have to get the weight of the town you come from. You have to write with guts about the potholes you walk round and the manholes you step upon, the screams and cries that you encounter, the guff that aims to nail you and the bits of light amongst the drab white concrete. Jinx Lennon does this and more for Dundalk and the borderlands. You've never heard as many songs about the lost souls and mangled heads from Dealgan Blayney, Forkhill, Carrick, Newry, Cooley, Carlingford, or godforsaken Drogheda.
Inspired by unhinged gospel preachers join Jinx through the cracked lens of punk, noise, north east borderland raps, confused taped voices and neanderthal garage rock and you will hear the stories unfold, some which are still being formed as we speak.
This year saw the release of Jinx Lennons 13th record "The Hate Agents Leer At The Last Isle Of Hope" for which he went on a UK and Irish tour and performed at The Electric Picnic.
Now, the next chapter slowly unfurls, and you yourself could be part of the next upcoming tale.
"The singers capacity for channeling a multitude of characters into bite sized chunks is marvellous and a patchwork of citizenry from his hometown of Dundalk is wonderfully depicted here" - Will Russell, Hot Press review of 'The Hate agents Leer at the last Isle of Hope'
Jinx Lennon is a rare and renegade star in the musical firmament. - ZARA HEDDERMAN, TOTALLY DUBLIN
I've seen him play a couple of times, and he's unforgettable.The atmosphere can feel dangerous and unhinged,in the best possible way.He's f**king raw. I think he's Ireland's Dylan Thomas. - Enda Walsh, playwright
"Except in the crucial sense that he understands class, Lennon is not a protest singer. The rich horn in for a few lines, but mostly Lennon means to warn the local good guys about the bad guys waiting to f**k them up" - Bob Christgau, Rolling Stone / Village Voice
