The Best Indie Songs of 2014 - Jamie T



 
 
 
Jamie T, the gobby little shite from Wimbledon is back with a rip snorter Zombie. More a traditional rocker than his previous work, while not eschewing elements of ska and hip-hop, the sound is a welcome evolutionary step in the growth of Jamie T. You will love it.


 


 
 
 
Zombie is one of three singles released from Jamie T’s third album Carry On The Grudge(Sept’14). Jamie’s been bashing out tunes for over a decade and other good un’s include Hocus Pocus and If You Got The Money.

Jamie T often attracts comparisons to Billy Bragg and Saint (Joe) Strummer. He once lied and said that he knew Joe’s daughter to a pub owner and mentioned he might be able to get the big man down the pisser, in order to secure a gig. The bull-shitter actually is mates with Damon Alburn of Blur.








Jamie T is contemporaries of Lilly Allen, her father was best friends with St Strummer and her catalogue includes a Straight To Hell cover with Mick Jones.

But there’ll be none of that malarkey here, what we got for you is a little bit of what's going down in London, LDN (2006).
