NEW SINGLE First Blood OUT NOW

Whilst Yin poses topless and accepts cigarette offers, Yang dreams up a dance-floor and contemplates house music with a mouthful full of drugs. The balance is fucked, you need some advice. Get your first blood, feel your self rapidly losing weight and slowly succumbing to complete insanity. Distance yourself from your peers, you never needed them anyway. Speak only to hallucinations, they are the only folk you can trust, then accept your fate and wait for the end for at least a fortnight. When all this is done then you must pick yourself up, dust off the old Hong-Kong Flu and prepare yourself for the square-go to end all square-go's. Do not rest until there is no aspect of love from which you cannot defend yourself. Master the heart-to-heart combat of human romance, break bones if needs be and when you are ready, bow to your opponent and kiss them goodnight. Once the battle is over, listen to JR Green's new single, 'First Blood'. It's for you x' JR Green Oct. 2016

The end is nigh, the Apocalypse is upon us and it's one for the Gentlemen. Here is the video to our brand new single. If this song finds you alone then we hope it serves as some comfort, perhaps love won't always feel like sickness. If this song finds you in loving arms then we would hope, if nothing else, it may serve as a reminder of how many times things have in fact hurt more than enough. Enjoy it well it lasts.

Happy Valentines Day Motherfuckers,

JR Green

Bring The Witch Doctor OUT NOW

So here we are, night has fallen and the atomic bomb has hit. There is straw for the donkey and the kittens have been drowned. Not to mention the witch doctor is here, bring him in he looks half frozen.

Our debut EP 'Bring The Witch Doctor' is finally here and we are unable to conceal our happiness. Before another word finds the page we, JR Green, would like to thank each and every one of you for your support and hope that one day we will be pissing in foreign swimming pools together whilst some one else does this shit for us. Joking and profanity aside we are incredibly grateful, so here's to you. Enjoy.

The songs that feature on this EP were all written in our shared attic-room in the remote Scottish Highlands, barely big enough for two beds, let alone two 6ft muppets and a bloody squeeze box. We wrote these four songs when I, R Green, was still in school and each one will always serve as a time capsule for me no matter how many times we perform them. We hope you can take pleasure in listening to them, they mean an awful and equal amount to us and having them officially released is something we find extremely exciting.

We will now leave you to listen in peace.

Our love, JR Green x
