Artwork for the single 'The Mothman', showing billowing clouds against a bold, slightly-muted red background, skies filled with flocks of white birds except for one that is centred at the bottom of the frame, in black instead of white. Beneath it is text saying "NEW SINGLE, PRE-SAVE TODAY"

This is the vibrant, colourful, comicbook-style artwork from the magnificent James Stokoe. It broadly shows a tall tropical island, swathed in various animals, adrift in turquoise water and beneath bright skies filled with endless flocks of white birds. The skies in the background gradate from turquoise down to a yellow horizon, hiding behind billowy clouds. In the background is a second rocky island with a spindly lighthouse perched atop. Close up in the foreground is a cheeky-looking hippo facing out towards the scene, but with the right side of its face visible, and a few scraggly birds perched on its nose. Then the island itself appears to be a combination of manmade structures carved into its rock, vibrant greenery, and then it appears to blend into the body of an enormous crocodile which extends out of its lower left side, evidenced by the eyes and snout that are visible. This itself is decked out with the body of an equally enormous orange/golden snake which loops back and forth over it. Moored up at a dock on he island is a little ship. Around the island are other colossal animals, including hippos, a pair of dugongs (also known as the manatee), and up at the top near the tallest building, is another enormous crocodile poking out from behind and gazing out to the left. There the band's logo "The Longest Johns" and album title "Ends of the Earth" also appear. Below is additional text saying "NEW ALBUM, PRE-SAVE TODAY"

And I would watch it on my phone.
And I would watch it in my home.
And I will watch it here and there.
Say, I will watch it anywhere!
I do so like these shanty songs!
Thank you! Thank you, Longest Johns!

#TheLongestJohns #UKFolkMusic #Shanty #Livestream

Longest Johns singer Andy is about to pull up his jeans to show off his "beautiful hairy leg". JD is kneeling to hold the leg up in the air and smiling at the audience.

Andy of the Longest Johns is playing his banjo with his foot up on a wheel of cheese, with the Longest Pony artwork on it. His long hair is across his face, and he generally looks like a rock star.

Robbie and JD of the Longest Johns are standing close together, about to start waltzing to the Tennessee Waltz.

Robbie of the Longest Johns is kneeling on stage, emoting about the crew that keep mutinying.

Some more fun moments from #TheLongestJohns concerts.

Were you at any of these?

#TLJGig

A mallard of such malice... From their last show at the Bristol Beacon - looking forward to seeing them again on the 30th May. #TLJGig #TheLongestJohns

The whole Longest Pony tour last year was great but Winchester Cathedral was special. Such a great concert!

#TLJ #TheLongestJohns

Four musicians on stage in front of a blue backdrop. Andy, Anto, Robbie and JD of The Longest Johns at the Bristol Harbourside festival in 2025. (Florin on drums is there, just hidden behind JD)

Had fun at the Harbourside Festival in Bristol last year, looking forward to seeing you at the Bristol Beacon next month #TLJGig #TheLongestJohns

A crisp, clear shot of Andy on stage, orange glowing lights in soft focus behind him, wearing a black shirt with red linework on it, as he holds a banjo hanging around his waist with his left hand, and points directly at YOU (the camera), and looks into your eyes. Beneath is the text "HEY YOU!"

A photo from a live show of Robbie in a boiler suit, in the midst of a crowd of people. Everyone is lit with red, he has a mic in hand, looking ever-so-slightly like a man who has committed himself to something he now regrets. The audience appears to be enjoying the events though, so that's nice. Underneath is the text "WE WANT TO SEE 👁️👁️"

A genuinely lovely picture of JD, in a denim shirt and black trousers, holding a mic, sat down on a raised bit of stage, surrounded by guitars. He has a big, beaming smile on his face as if he's been photographed mid-laugh. Underneath is the text "YOUR HAPPY TOUR MEMORIES"

A selfie of the band in the studio doing a rehearsal. JD's holding the camera, closest in shot and on the far left. Florin is next, towards the back of the shot, in the process of hitting a drum whilst looking at the camera with a feigned shock on his face. Robbie is taking a big sip from a white mug. Andy has his arms stretched out wide, perhaps trying to assert dominance over you, the viewer, or inviting you for a big hug. You decide. Then Anto is furthest on the right, also with a pair of drumsticks in his hand, blurred in motion and crossed into an X shape. At the bottom is a vivid green band, the ESL One logo, and Birmingham 2026

Look who's coming for dinner!
Putting together something pretty exciting for Sunday's ESL One Birmingham 2026 Grand Final!

A screengrab from the Ends of the Earth music video, showing the full band being drenched in dingy water whilst performing the song in a cramped, rickety container-like environment, as if being shipped off somewhere. Everyone is wearing black clothing, and yelling in various ways. There's text saying "Ends of the Earth - Video out now! Single releases Friday 27/03/26"

An image of a jolly dugong (also known as the manatee) from the Ends of the Earth artwork! This large grey lad, rendered in lovely comicbook style by artist James Stokoe, has a couple of birds perched atop its snout and a big cheery smile on its face. Looks like a cheery fellow to meet.

A BIG HIPPO, seemingly having a monch on some kind of brickwork making up a dock. Its jowely mouth is draped over the dock (it's a REALLY large hippo, not just regular large) and its yellow eyes are staring off into the distance with a kind of serene placidity.

ur good friend the roaring hippo returns, jaws set wide in fearsome zeal, teeth fully on display, but perhaps just extremely happy with how the Kickstarter performed, or excited for its upcoming arrival of a new CD and some merchandise? Who can tell.

Lastly a little fish, popping its head out of the water, orange skin textured a little like a pineapple and mouth jutting forward in an 'oooh' shape, spitting a few drops of water. It may be hooting and/or hollering with excitement.

And that's a wrap on the Ends of the Earth Kickstarter!
Thank you SO MUCH for your support and enthusiasm, we can't wait for you to hear what's coming❤️
Backer surveys should be going out soon, so please keep an eye out for that as it really helps us out!

#TheLongestJohns #FolkMusic #NewMusic

A crop from the Ends of the Earth artwork, once more reminding you that it's done by the incredible James Stokoe. This shows a tall, rickety pile of structures as part of an island, piled up to the sky and capped with a spire. Looming out from behind it is an enormous, gnarled crocodile, dwarfing the island. Behind that are two smaller, but no less physically imposing (apart from their joyous demeanour) dugongs with birds perched on their heads. Behind them are billowing clouds, endless flocks of birds, and a beautiful blue/green/yellow gradated sky. Above them is the bold text "24 HOURS REMAIN..."

We've stretched the goals, we've got a cool album and excellent merch, if you've not backed yet you have until NOON UTC TOMORROW! Don't miss out
