A rock band with its roots firmly on the Isle of Wight have released their second single with a sold-out London launch.
Jo-Jo & The Teeth's "No More Good News" — which follows debut drop "Don't Get Too Heavy" — was written in homage to David Bowie and Tom Petty, with the latter's 'Wild Flowers' referenced.
The art-rockers, comprised of two Canadians and three Islanders, cite influences from Queen and Fleetwood Mac to the Rolling Stones and Aerosmith.
Frontwoman, Jo-Jo O’Donoghue, famously described by Vive Le Rock magazine as a ‘Grungy Goddess’ journeyed from the Rocky Mountains to the Isle of Wight, via Dublin, before settling in London.
Jo-Jo told Isle of Wight Radio:
"No More Good News’ was written after hearing that the great Tom Petty had died. David Bowie left us the year before.
"The great era of Rock 'n' Roll, the time of guitar slung heroes and renegades has ended and the magical worlds they created for us are dying with them.
"The music industry is unrecognizable to the world they lived in, musicians (like them) are scarcely found in the charts, and not likely to see the light of day."
