The highly influential English band formed in Manchester in 1982. Known for frontman Tim Booth’s enigmatic vocals, introspective lyrics, and fearless spirit of genre experimentation, they are key figures in the legendary ‘Madchester’ scene.
JAMES achieved massive success with anthems including ‘Sit Down’, ‘Getting Away With It (All Messed Up)’ and ‘Laid’. The band celebrated their 40th anniversary in 2023 and released their 18th album ‘Yummy’ in 2024 which reached #1 in the UK Albums Chart, their first studio album to do so. The album as described by MOJO: “after 18 LPs and over four interrupted decades at the coalface, James are still re-inventing themselves”.
The band release a documentary detailing their whole career directed by Chris Atkins (Who killed the KLF, James Blunt: One Brit Wonder) this August
