Edit history

Jones the Cat have never been a band easy to fully categorise. Their live shows are notoriously energetic, routinely ending with members bleeding and collapsing as they come off stage, yet the band has 6 tertiary music qualifications between its 4 members. Stylistically, they sit nearest to Post-Emo, but range from dense, polyrhythmic spoken word pieces to 4 chord straight ahead punk songs depending on which part of the set you happen upon. The one thing they have always been is driven. From the second they formed they have been cutting tracks into the highways, playing shows to anyone, anywhere they can, and getting whatever needs to happen done themselves. The Dine Alone Records alumni used their COVID induced absence from the road to return to the studio and showcase the refined and deliberate songwriting at the heart of their brutally intense live shows in “The Tyranny of Apathy”
