Desperate Journalist

Desperate Journalist formed in North London in 2013. Their self released ‘Cristina’ EP and energetic live shows soon caught the attention of Simon Williams who promptly signed them to Fierce Panda records. Over a decade and 5 albums later, the post-punk foursome (Jo, Rob, Simon and Caz) have built a growing and loyal fanbase around the UK and Europe. Following on from the success of ‘Maximum Sorrow!’, the band played their biggest shows to date, supporting Suede on their sell out Autofiction tour. 5th album ‘No Hero’ arrived in late 2024 and contained their most ambitious and accessible material to date, from the bass groove led single ‘Unsympathetic Parts 1 & 2’, to the big choruses of ‘7’.
