The Jukebox Romantics are set to release their long awaited Fires Forming EP, a co-release between Sell The Heart Records (U.S.) and Engineer Records (U.K.) on December 17. Preceding the release the band recently shared the first single, “Hey Nora.”

“Early 2021, we finished the songs and were eager to find them a home. We had a pretty rough release experience with our last full-length and wanted to make sure this gem of an EP was handled with care,” says guitarist/vocalist Mike Terry. “And with that, we wanted to work with friends because who can you trust more than friends? So, we had reached out to Andy from Sell The Heart Records ’cause we love what he’s doing with the label, and more importantly, love him as a human.

“Engineer Records got on board as well after talking to Andy about JBR. Engineer really get behind bands that encompass a lot of our DIY ethos on touring, working hard, and being genuine people. Five songs. Five songs that draw a line in the sand, asking the listener to look inside themselves and see where they land internally and externally. Five songs that pack so much heart, it could only be contained on a 12-inch record. That’s right, a 12-inch five songs EP … because that’s how we roll.”
 
The Jukebox Romantics are in-your-face, fun, heartfelt punk in the vein of bands like Alkaline Trio, Samiam, and The Bouncing Souls. Over the past 13 years, they have taken their talked-about live show from coast to coast, including multiple appearances at Gainesville’s Fest, Vans Warped Tour, Pouzza Fest, SXSW, and more.
 
JBR’s current sound transformed in 2014 after they restructured to a trio. Since then, the band have embarked on several U.S. and European tours, further establishing their reputation as an extremely hard-working band.
 
Their last LP, Sleepwalk Me Home, was released in 2018 via Paper + Plastick Records. In the back half of 2021, the JBR dudes are gearing up to drop new music and hit the stage with even more fire as they return to form as a four piece.
 
Since their debut album in 2009, the band have made a name for themselves by touring endlessly with ferocious, energetic live shows. By conveying heart and leaving their sweat and souls out on stage at every show, they remind you to have fun, enjoy life and never grow up.”
