Originally heralding from Manchester, UK, by age 17 Jim Stapley was already pursuing the rock and roll dream, skipping school to catch the train to London where he rehearsed daily with musicians a decade older than he was. The work paid off, leading to shows in iconic venues all over London as well as a residency at The Borderline, an 18+ club for which Jim, the lead singer, had to be smuggled in. After a good run with a few different bands, Jim’s career took a decidedly solo turn. That’s when it all really cracked open. Jim began playing gigs in Los Angeles, New York, Atlanta, Norway, Italy, Germany, and other amazing locales before eventually returning home to the legendary Dean Street Studios where he cut this first album, one that really has been a Long Time Coming…
The lead single 'HeartStrings' has recently landed on SoundCloud. I'm really starting to love this guys tone and solid powerful vocal. This is one of many gems taken from his debut album 'Long Tim Coming'

The album is so good man, I was lucky enough to see him play live the other day and he absolutely smashed it!

You might want to check out this music video for Laid to waste as well by the way
