South Wales songwriter/wordsmith Jack Jones will release a new song Who Let the Bass Pump Though The Floor, through Strap Originals, on Friday 12th July https://found.ee/JackJonesBASS . Who Let the Bass Pump Though The Floor, a dancefloor monster to drive the neighbours to distraction, is the second track to be lifted from Jack’s much anticipated debut solo album ‘Jack Jones’ released on Friday September 20th. His previous single Breathe picked up multiple plays on BBC6 Music and was featured on the BBC’s coverage of the Euros football.
Jack Jones says of Who Let The Bass Pump Through The Floor: “When we first started drinking as young kids, we couldn’t get into pubs or anything, so we used to always have house parties… It was just an excuse to find someone’s flat and destroy it. The song’s the idea of people arriving from the street, and coming in, each with their own back-story. It’s a bit of a banger!.”
The video for Who Let The Bass Pump Through The Floor was shot over Glastonbury weekend by Barnaby Fairley, who also directed the video for previous single Breathe Jack performed three times at Glastonbury, (twice solo and once with his band Trampolene), but incredibly didn’t bump into either Dave Grohl or Tom Cruise.
Jack’s album ‘Jack Jones’ will be available on vinyl in multiple colour formats, CD and digital download and was co-written, produced and mixed by Adam French. Also available will be Jack Jones’s new book ‘Tour Diaries’ Volume 1 featuring Jack’s time with Trampolene, The Libertines and Peter Doherty & The Puta Madres.

Jack Jones is a compulsive wordsmith, an obsessive jotter-down of phrases, and weird things that people say. Across three studio albums and a hatful of singles and EPs since 2013, his work with TRAMPOLENE has always drawn from this humungous, ever-accumulating verbal resource. On his own, he has also published a novel (2023’s ‘Swansea to Hornsey’) and recited poems and delivered spoken-word onstage.
For this album Jack Jones has put away his guitar and embraced a fresh and highly contemporary sound in which to couch his hard-hitting state of the nation poems of existential fear and loathing. His lyrics tackle many of today’s burning issues: mental health, drug addiction, mortality, and the tortuous demands of technology. There’s also joy and hope in there. The new direction arose out of an introduction to Mancunian artist/producer/songwriter/laptop warrior Adam French. For Jones, French’s way of composing and recording was like being teleported into a parallel dimension.
Jack Jones will be supporting Peter Doherty for a Strap Originals showcase at the Northendon Fringe Festival (TNFF) at Wythenshawe – Cringlewood Social Club on Thursday 8th August and will be playing the following headline shows in November:
