Jacob’s Mouse

Jacob’s Mouse was a raucous British indie/noise rock trio formed in Cambridge in the late 1980s, known for their fuzzed-out guitars, chaotic energy, and deadpan humor. Comprised of brothers Jebb Boothby (vocals/bass) and Jez Boothby (drums), along with guitarist Nick Lockwood, the band carved out a cult following with their grunge-adjacent sound and tongue-in-cheek song titles (like "No Fish Shop Parking" and "Ton Up!"). They released a string of EPs and albums through the ’90s on labels like Wiiija and Chaos, including *Rubber Room* (1993) and *Group of 7* (1994), blending sludgy riffs with a DIY punk spirit. Though they split in 1995, their scrappy, pedal-stomping anthems remain a nostalgic favorite for fans of ’90s UK alt-rock, and they’ve occasionally reunited for shows, proving their noisy charm hasn’t mellowed with age.
