Miles Kane, formerly of The Rascals, already was in supergroup The Last Shadow Puppets, with Arctic Monkeys frontman Alex Turner. Now he’s in another supergroup, with even bigger names. The Jaded Hearts Club also features Nic Cester (Jet), guitarists Graham Coxon (Blur) and Jamie Davis, Matt Bellamy (Muse) on bass, and drummer Sean Payne (The Zutons).

Formerly known as Dr. Pepper’s Jaded Hearts Club Band, they started out as a Beatles tribute band. After playing only a few live shows, Bellamy and Davis wanted to develop the band further. They decided to focus primarily on recording lost classics from the world of Northern Soul, supplemented by their raw, soulful takes on some famous standards from the era. Bellamy explains: “The Jaded Hearts Club is continuing the tradition of how bands like The Beatles and The Stones started out – finding great soul and blues standards and recording them in a more modern style.”

The band’s first single is Nobody But Me, originally a 1962 Isley Brothers song. The Jaded Hearts Club give the Northern soul classic a mean rock ’n’ roll ‘twist’ (pun intended).
