Band Biographies: Better Than The Book

Better Than The Book is a ska-punk/pop-punk musical project by UK based multi-instrumentalist, producer and audio engineer, Nick Standing AKA Jabun.

Starting in mid 2012, Better Than The Book formed as a means of catharsis for difficulties in Nick's life, as can be heard in many of the lyrics from his 2012 debut EP “One Small Step” and 2016 debut LP “Two Years On”, as well as his upcoming sophomore album “Hopes and Dreams”, due to be released in the summer of 2019. With the goal of getting people pumped up for living life to the full via high-energy instrumentals and honest relatable lyrics about Nick's own experiences, Better Than The Book has been on a mission to create heartfelt anthems to inspire and help people know that they aren't alone with their worries or the problems they face. That along with various stories about life and living make up what it means to be Better Than The Book.
