Jinks.

At the start of April, agit-pop duo Jinks' debut single, Poison Lover, was beamed into the homes of over 5m people. Not bad for a band who only formed six months ago. Soundtracking a key storyline in ITV drama Grace, the emotionally-charged pop-rock stomper hailed the arrival of Londoners Ollie Jacobs (producer, songwriter) and Jodie Morgan (vocals, songwriter) onto an unsuspecting pop landscape. The record even gained a top 12 spot on the Shazam pop chart. With a raft of brazenly honest, character-stuffed songs under their belts, ranging from the shady, drum'n'bass pop behemoth Pink City to Dumb's fantastical electro, Jinks are keen to keep their sound evolving. Inspired by everyone from first album Lily Allen to cutting edge collective Loud LDN, Jinks' songs are also underpinned by a rebellious spirit.
While they're still riding the wave of Poison Lover, and the shock of their first ever time in the studio together being heard by so many people, the duo already have their sights set on the future. The hope is for Pink City to emerge this summer, making it the perfect soundtrack to sweaty nights out, the sofa be damned! But the plan is not to make too many plans and instead make a song that they think is really cool, and that's it really. They’re catering for people who are like them and like that sort of music. It's a simple mantra, but one it feels like a lot of people are going to get behind.
