Max Bianco first made his mark as one of the frontmen for The Jar Family, a Hartlepool-based industrial-folk rock band that built a strong following through festival performances and high-profile support slots with acts such as Alabama 3, The Charlatans, and Steve Craddock (Ocean Colour Scene). Despite their growing reputation and dedicated fan base, the band's momentum eventually slowed, leading its members to pursue separate paths. Now focusing on his solo career, Max continues to captivate audiences with his distinctive songwriting and raw energy. Most recently, he completed a tour with The Libertines and remains a close friend of Pete Doherty.
