Jammerzine has an exclusive interview with Colin White, drummer for the iconic British band known as Joe Symes and the Loving Kind about their latest album titled ‘Portmanteau’, dropping today (September 27th).
‘Portmanteau’ is that continuing evolution of sound and serenity from a band that has now not only found their sound, they’re evolutionizing and revolutionizing it with an original fervor that most bands lack and more artists yearn for.
Beautifully crafted and lovingly recorded, ‘Portmanteau’ is a sonic ride down a scenic highway without a care in the world. Think about what music should be and let Joe, Colin, and Alan sow you what it can be.
And, in today’s interview, we talk with Colin about that, ‘Portmanteau’, and more.

About Joe Symes and the Loving Kind
Joe Symes and the Loving Kind are a three-piece Rock band from Liverpool, UK. Their last release – the 4 track EP A Place to Call Our Own – was sold in HMV stores across the north west, with the band performing acoustically in the stores to enthusiastic crowds who gave an astounding response, with CD’s selling out halfway through the performances and second batches going on shelves immediately.
The EP title track reached number 8 in the national 365 Radio Top 30 charts, based in London climbing higher than such artists as Florence and the Machine, Liam Gallagher, Jack White, White Lies, and Ed Sheeran to name several, and remained in the top 20 for five weeks.
As well as playing major festivals such as Tramlines, the Wychwood festival, headlining slots, exclusive radio sessions around the world with live performances included to promote the EP, the band’s music has and continues to be be played at Liverpool Football Club’s home games during half-time.
The band’s upcoming third album Portmanteau is out on the 27th September. This has been preceded by the video It’s All Too Late – a track taken from the album – which has already had international airplay, and reached number 2 in the Banks Radio Australia Valley FM 85.9 Chart, and number 4 in one of the The Chart of Gold UK, and a second video for a track entitled Please Please premiered on YouTube on the 30th August at 7pm UK time.
