John Joseph Brill
John Joseph Brill has just released his brand new single ‘All Eyes’ through Kobalt. The release comes ahead of his UK and European headline tour in November, including London’s Lexington on Nov 20th. Stream it below!


‘All Eyes’, produced by Andrew Davie of Bears Den, is the follow up to John Joseph Brill’s third critically acclaimed EP ‘I'’m Not Alright’. ‘I have to say that I didn't see this one coming from him. All Eyes’ really picks up the tempo from previous releases and shows Brill’'s musical dexterity.

Speaking about ‘All Eyes Brill explains,
I’'ve wanted to release a song like ‘All Eyes’ for ages, it was intended as a song for frenzied, Friday night dancing in sweaty indie clubs but one that retains all the darkness of the songs that have come before it. A brooding, moody, sexy, hi-shaker of a song. A song you wouldn’t take home to meet your parents...”

Having spent his early 20s fronting London based heavy rock outfit Burning Beard, John Joseph Brill established himself as a mainstay of the West London music scene. The same musical community that bred The Staves, Laura Marling and Bear’s Den heavily influenced Brill to explore a more confessional, honest form of songwriting and in 2013 he left his former band and the capital and moved to Liverpool. There he honed his craft as a solo artist, immersed in the oeuvre of Leonard Cohen, Jason Molina and Neil Young he began writing and performing, in his unique baritone style, songs about everything from heartbreak to death and friendship. 


John Joseph Brill will be doing an extensive UK and European tour in November, including a headline show at The Lexington London, on Monday November 20th.
