As Brave As We Could Be is the only studio album by British band Jellicoe, issued by Do-Little Records in 2001.[1] It is notable as the first album featuring Jay McAllister who later went on to have a successful career as a folk singer-songwriter under the stage name Beans On Toast.[2]

Background

Jellicoe were a 3-piece alternative rock band formed in Essex in 1996 while still at school, before they could play (or owned) instruments. Inspired by Nirvana's punk approach they taught themselves to play and wrote their first batch of songs.[3] After building up a following playing local venues around the county, including a headlining slot at the Harlow Square, they were signed to Do-Little Records. As Brave As We Could Be was recorded at 5 Mile High Studio in Peterborough and produced by Andy Hawkins.

Reception

The track "Arcade Superhero" received airplay on BBC Radio 1 from DJ John Peel, who was impressed enough to invite the band to record a BBC session for the John Peel Show shortly after the album's release.[4]

Describing first single "Panic 250", the NME wrote that "Jellicoe roll out the same pleasing list of influences that have warmed the cockles of Steve Lamacq's heart since the beginning of recorded indie time."[5]

Lamacq himself increased the album's exposure by playing follow up single "Self Defence" on his Radio 1 show The Evening Session, with NME stating that "this trio of Essex adolescents certainly have the courage of their ramshackle convictions" in their review of the track.[6]

Jellicoe split up before recording a follow-up, making As Brave As We Could Be the band's one and only studio album.
