Joe by the Book are a Leeds based outfit pulling influences from indie rock and chicano soul, creating a uniquely blended sound within the UK indie scene. With their debut release ‘100 Years’ they explore ego, family relationships, trauma and solitude all with a level of fictional detachment that pulls you into their world thats as much Lima as it is Leeds, and as much Mexico as Manchester.
