Papa Jupe's T.C

Papa Jupes T.C. drench post-punk in sleazy surf rock. Their surreal lyrics lampoon masculinity, politics, and power.

The release received glowing reviews including Clash and Amplify The Noise, and features in DIY Magazines coveted Neu Playlist.
The band released their acclaimed debut EP Wetmarket in June 2023, following a run of standalone singles.
The bands performance and visual style is inspired heavily by a fascination with cults and religion, with Praise Be and All Hail Papa Jupe becoming audience catchphrases for the band at gigs. Papa Jupes T.C. have earned a reputation for thrilling live performances with a string of sold-out headline shows throughout the UK and support slots including Mercury Prize winners English Teacher and Buzzard Buzzard Buzzard. The band headlined Rebel Fest, Newport in 2024 and are set to headline All Roads Festival, Glastonbury in May 2025.
The 6-piece band was founded in Cardiff, by frontman Harry Willicombe, guitarist Sam Butcher and bassist Alex Miller. Ash Smiths drumming, Tom Emlyns synth work, and Nashville-import Gemini Andersons joyous vocals have cemented Papa Jupes T.C. as a unique voice in the Cardiff music scene.
