Named after a long-standing agony aunt from a popular Scottish newspaper, The Just Joans formed in Glasgow in 2007. They have released a series of EPs and albums and have built something of a cult following among navel-gazing indie types. Once a shambling two-piece, in recent years they have taken the form of an accomplished sextet, embracing rivalry and relationship via the vocals of siblings David and Katie Pope. Once described as "the missing link between The Magnetic Fields and The Proclaimers", expect songs of angst, heart-break and detachment.
