HARIJAN VS JPS SPLIT E.P OUT SOON!!!

About Me


John Player Specials are a fresh young Ska band from England's North West, with members from Wigan and St Helens. Original, energetic, upbeat yet all the while chilled-out reggae tinged ska is our passion, and we put our time, energy, and lots of our money, into making this lovely music for you lovely people.
In a short time we have already made our mark, playing in Manchester, Liverpool, all over the place, supporting some well-known bands as well as lesser known (but in no way lesser) bands. The start of 2008 saw things pick up with our first EP, Identification, recorded by the legendary TimG in his new studio, Bigtone Recordings.
July 2008 will see the release of our second EP, a joint venture with our good friends Harijan, which promises to be something very special indeed.
We look set to have a very exciting summer indeed, with some very decent gigs indeed lined up, and more hopefully in the pipeline. Want to book us? Just drop us a message and we'll see what we can do!
Identification EP:
1. Knocking on Wood
2. Future Of Tomorrow
3. Bad Town Melodies
4. Identification
5. Written in Stone
The EP is available to purchase at all our gigs for the bargain(!) price of £3, or on our new Online Store (below)..
