JAOTAR

About

Birmingham power trio Jaotar break down the boundaries of genre with their home-made weapon of choice: an uncompromising fusion of rock and funk, held strong by a super-sticky psychedelic glue. Born out of the heart of the Midlands, their sound is immersive, rhythmically charged, and guided entirely by instinct. By pairing infectious momentum with expansive sonic layers, Jaotar create an explosive duality—tracks that are simultaneously hypnotic and high-energy. Inside the rehearsal space, their songwriting process is a testament to collective intuition. Willie Mac brings the initial sparks to the session; Meaks builds up the heat using groove for fuel and Stankleg adds what can only be described as musical lighter fluid to the fire. Prioritising movement, dynamics, and sonic depth over rigid structures, Jaotar ignite a sound that feels fluid, expressive, and deeply rooted in the physical energy of the room.
