Biography

School friends McAllister and Danger, along with bass player Jot Fuller, formed Jellicoe as teenagers in 1996 while attending Notley High School in Braintree, Essex.[2] Named after historic seafarer Captain John Jellicoe, they cut their teeth on the gig circuits of Essex and London, playing headline slots at the Harlow Square and Camden Barfly. Their first release was the track Arcade Superhero on the Fierce Panda Records compilation Cutting Hedge in May 2000.[3]

They released their debut album As Brave As We Could Be on Do-Little Records later that year, which was produced by Andy Hawkins of Midget. NME magazine praised Jellicoe's "bloody-knuckled teenage rock’n’roll charm"[4], comparing them to Dinosaur Jr. and Ash.[5]

The album brought them to the attention of BBC Radio DJ John Peel, who invited them to do a session at Maida Vale Studios which was broadcast on Radio 1 in March 2001.[6]

Jellicoe split up after relocating from Essex to London in late 2001, with Jay McAllister describing this period in his book Drunk Folk Stories, published in 2018.[7][8]
