JJ & the A’s, from Denmark/Barcelona, started in 2022 as a recording project between three friends from across the globe, all of whom played in many bands throughout the past decade. In the summer 2023 they emerged as a five piece live band at the infamous K-town Hardcore Fest, and have been playing shows around Europe and UK ever since.

Their sound consists of short and fast songs (mostly) that have a heavy backbone of keyboard and fuzz that saturates a relentless onslaught of primitive snotty punk rock. An eclectic mix of genres that ranges from garage to early hardcore punk with some 60’s soul and space-rock vibes in between. The band has never been afraid to mix genres and styles and experiment with new sounds. Drawing inspiration from early KBD punk and almost every rock genre, they have compiled a large amount of songs which have a weirdo punk vibe and explosive energy.

JJ & the A’s output thus far consists of the incendiary self-titled EP, their slightly more melodic “Eyeballer” EP, and a compilation cassette (Society Sucker Radio). All records have been released by seminal London based labe,l La Vida Es Un Mus, with an LP slated for release on the label later in 2025.
