The brainchild of British singer, songwriter, and musician Jamie McDermott, The Irrepressibles found fame with their baroque pop that often dealt with queer relationships, as well as their unique live shows. McDermott’s musical education began on piano, and he would later study art. Those two interests would come together when he started the first Irrepressibles projects in 2002 as the singer, lead guitarist, and songwriter. They became known as a ‘performance orchestra’ and they would deliver theatrical, visually detailed concerts in venues as wide-ranging as Roman amphitheaters and art galleries. They gained notice at the 2008 Latitude Festival where they played their set on a stage that floated on a lake. Their first album, 2010’s Mirror Mirror, earned strong reviews. The album’s single, “In This Shirt,” became their best-known song - it appeared in multiple television ads and movie trailers. McDermott focused his thematic concerns on the power and beauty of homosexual love on 2012’s Nude, and the group issued three EPs over the next two years that further explored the album’s ideas: Nude: Landscapes (2013), Nude: Viscera (2014), and Nude: Forbidden (2014). At this time, McDermott changed his name to Jamie Irrepressible. Three singles were released in 2018 and 2019 (“Submission,” “Anxiety,” and “Dominance”) ahead of their third album - the Germanic influenced Superheroes – which wasn’t issued until 2020. Three years after the release of that album, The Irrepressibles unleased the Self Love & Acceptance EP (2023). The following year, they released the singles “Be Wild,” “Will You?” and “Yo Homo,” all of which were featured on the Ecstasy Homosexuality EP (2024). Continuing with a busy year for releases, The Irrepressibles announced the release of their fourth album, Yo Homo.
