Jo plays bass guitar in Glasgow based band Girobabies who released their debut album ‘Who Took Utopia’ to critical acclaim. This was a follow up to previous mini LPs ‘Bus Stop Apocalypse’ & ‘Social Not Working’ where the Girobabies used a psych-punk, backbeat to deliver pertinent political/social observations akin to the likes of the Sleaford Mods, The Streets & The Fall.
Since the release of the latest album they have played a sold out Glasgow Barrowlands and were personally asked to support one of their all time heroes and influences Steve Mason (The Beta Band)
They have also gained celebrity fans in the unlikely form of Paolo Nutini, Paul Heaton and Alabama 3 who recently called them 'The Best Rock n Roll band in Scotland '
The Girobabies mix a varied range of influences from each band member to create a sonic assault of the senses that weave between an insane party and an intense comedown with storytelling, humour and anguish all heavy in the mix. The band will have a brand new album out in 2024.

They just totally blow me away. Great, very focused lyrics and delivery smashing a path through a band who manage to sound tight and loose like all the best bands do. Best of all though the Girobabies mean something and stand for something. They are not just popping their heads above the castle wall they are standing on it with a mega phone screaming "C'mon ya bas". A rare band who owe nothing to anybody`
– Steve Mason
“The Girobabies tell it like it is, like it was and, most importantly, like it's going to be! Long live The Girobabies!!"
– Paul Heaton
'The Girobabies are a band steeped in the nightlife and sub-culture of Glasgow and some of the material is akin to eavesdropping on a late-night pub conversation'
