Jymmy Pynball & The Stuntmen

Jymmy Pynball & The Stuntmen are a Sunderland-area punk rock and roll band who lean into the loud, fast and deliberately over-the-top side of guitar music. Their humour is part of the appeal, but the songs themselves are built with enough punch to make the joke land rather than becoming a novelty.

Recent releases including MOTORBIKES & KARATE and HEX GURL capture the band’s taste for big riffs, rowdy energy and memorable titles. The sound pulls from punk speed and rock-and-roll swagger, with a rough-edged live feel that suits close crowds and smaller venues.

Shows around Sunderland, including dates at Independent and The Bunker as well as festival appearances such as Euphony, have helped establish the band within the local punk and alternative scene. Houghton-le-Spring roots and a strong DIY streak keep the project closely tied to the region even as the audience grows.
