Bio
....Jennie and the Bets.. formed at a rubbish New Year's Eve party in 2004 and have since released two fizzy EPs, 'Fight Or Flight' and 'I Believe In You' as well as a 7" single, 'Stolen Kisses', on their own ..fakeindielabel.. imprint. These releases have cemented their reputation as indie buccaneers with fancy-dan pop sensibilities and seen them likened to "the bastard child of the Cure and Belle and Sebastian". Influences run the full gamut of indie-folk-punk-tweemo bedwetters such as the Violent Femmes, Milky Wimpshake, the Lucksmiths and the Delgados, as well as a whole raft of crap boyfriends and more rubbish parties....... - Robert Meddes...... -

Sounds Like
Think sumptuous slices of shimmering 80's girl led indie-pop - for arguments sake say - the Bangles rewired with the Primitives mindset - and arm them with a Shangri-La's type of bittersweet bubblegum pop prowess. - ..Losing Today .. .... Melancholy-yet-beautiful indie-pop loveliness; yet again I fall in love with this band. - ..NARC... .... Sweet 80's indie pop tunesmithery, with a vocal not unlike Fairground Attraction at times but far more heartfelt and perky. - ..Cuckoo Press .. .... Like being booted in the balls by the girl next door, a knickerbocker glory of pure pop thrills laced with lyrical cyanide. - ..NARC. .. .... Dreamy, danceable jangly pop. - ..Oh Inverted World.. .... The bastard child of The Cure and Belle & Sebastian. - ..NARC. .. .... Throwaway, early 90's indie-pop. - ..The Metro..
