NEW VIDEO / SINGLE ‘DOWN BELOW’
JAYLER – the electrifying UK rock band fusing the spirit of the golden age of rock with a bold, raw modern edge – have announced their debut album Voices Unheard, set for release on May 29th via Silver Lining Music.
JAYLER deliver swaggering riffs, soulful vocals and an unstoppable live energy, which is already seeing them known as a tour de force in the live arena. There’s a DNA and nod to classic British bands such as Led Zeppelin and Queen in the mix, but the band’s identity is rooted firmly in the present — loud, emotional and built to connect instantly.
Frontman James Bartholomew leads the charge on vocals and guitar, alongside Tyler Arrowsmith (guitar), Ed Evans (drums) and Ricky Hodgkiss (bass/keys). Together, they balance groove and immediacy with a youthful edge with defiance sitting at the core of their songwriting. JAYLER write for a generation that feels restless and unheard, fusing vintage tones with contemporary grit to create songs that land with physical impact and emotional weight.
The band’s brand new digital single, ‘Down Below’ is out now. An up-tempo, dust-kicking rock stomper which crackles with raw intent from the first beat. Swaggering guitars, pounding drums and a groove that feels built for movement to drive the song forward.
The band’s previously announced white label 7-inch, featuring ‘Down Below’, has now completely sold out. Produced as a strictly collector’s pressing limited to 500 copies, every numbered and band-signed copy has been claimed ahead of its May 29 delivery. As promised, the release will not be repressed.
“‘Down Below’ was the first track we recorded when we went into the studio, and straight away it felt like the perfect follow-up to Riverboat Queen. By the final day at Vada Studios, the track felt completely alive. The riffs, the tones...all of it came from that raw end-of-record energy. We hadn’t planned to film anything, but the vibe in the room was too real not to capture. So the video is literally us, right there in that moment.” - JAYLER
The eagerly anticipated new album Voices Unheard will be released on May 29th 2026, via Silver Lining Music.

Full details, locations and timings will be announced soon.

JAYLER’s reputation has been forged on stage. Relentless touring and an unfiltered connection with their audience have built a fiercely loyal following. Every show is high-voltage and communal — a band and crowd feeding off the same surge of energy. With a schedule that spans continents and iconic arenas, 2026 will see JAYLER take that unfiltered intensity to their biggest audiences yet, including the recently announced show with Deep Purple at the iconic London Royal Albert Hall venue, an additional one-night-only show added to an already monumental run.
