Desperate Journalist formed in 2013 in North London. Their self released 'Cristina' EP and energetic early live shows soon caught the attention of 'most indie man alive' Simon Williams who promptly signed them to Fierce Panda records.

Over a decade and 5 albums later, the post-punk foursome (Jo, Rob, Simon and Caz) have built a growing loyal fanbase around the UK and across Europe. Following on from the success of 'Maximum Sorrow!', 2023 saw the band play their biggest shows to date, supporting Suede on their sell out Autofiction tour.

The band’s 5th album 'No Hero' arrived on September 27th and contained their most ambitious and accessible material to date, from the bass groove led single 'Unsympathetic Parts 1 & 2', to the big choruses of '7'. No Hero made #15 in the UK Independent album chart and receiving largely glowing reviews.

After a 5 year gap, the band are finally returning to Germany for a limited amount of shows, so don't sleep on tickets!
