Exclusive guide Track by Track: JAWS - Be Slowly

Birmingham band talk through everything from practice sessions to panic attacks, the stories behind their debut album.

Birmingham band JAWS’ debut album is the product of almost three years of writing. In that time, the four-piece have gone from being a hyped tagalong to their city’s ‘scene’, right up into becoming the fevered, grunge-peddling band they are today. Every single moment in their career has developed underneath a spotlight, and that lends their first LP ‘Be Slowly’ a scattered, snapshot quality. Moments in all four members’ lives are documented, from growing up in Birmingham to touring the country. Practice sessions and panic attacks - every tiny detail of JAWS’ early days - works its way into the record.

We sat down with Connor Schofield and co. to discuss their first work. Schofield (vocals, guitars), Alex Hudson (guitars), bassist Jake Cooper and Eddy Geach on drums all chip in with their various stories, the tales that formed this excitable debut.
