About Me

My name is Jack, but on weekends I'm known as Kid Conventional.
I sing songs about girls, summer and otherwise being a silly 13 year old boy in a big, scruffy body. One day I would love to be on Jools Holland.
I have found a medium for my EP, "Uncharted Waters" to be downloaded, by YOU, for FREE. Follow the link to my
BandCamp page to get your mits on your FREE COPY. LOVELY.
I'm also now writing a new EP, under the working title "Dark Stations". Updates will be here when there are things about which to update, so please watch this space.
I'd love to be your virtual, MySpace-style friend, so just holla, or if you're on this new-fangled Facebook , Twitter or Ourstage , i'm on those too - it'd be lovely to hear from you.
Praise for "Uncharted Waters".
" 'Escapism' [has a] fragile feeling that reminds me of Brand New’s ‘Deja Entendu’ era."
"Gary Kasparov is an absolute tune... By far the standout track on the EP, the kind of song that makes you want to pick up a guitar yourself."
James Pepper @ Everthing in Transit, http://everythingintransitblog.wordpress.com
I also do other stuff:
Creationists
Vena Carva
First Aid in France
The bands in my top friends are pretty amazing people. Check them out, they'll do you good.

Anyone wants to use me as a warm up act or whatever, particularly around the Sheffield and Midlands areas but anywhere within reason, just gimme a buzz on this page. I'd be most grateful for anything you can send my way.
Here is a music video made for my song "Untitled" by the lovely and talented Gabriela Lastra - watch and enjoy, and check her out, she's really rather ripping.
