When and how did Jungle Breed come together in the first place?
Isabella and I would get together during high school classes in the abandoned music room and play blues and Sonic Youth covers before we realised we much rather playing and writing our own pieces. We met Angie at a Murlocs show and asked her to play with us one hazy late night at By The Meadow festival last year.
You released your new single, ‘Succulents’, earlier this year. How’s the track been received?
Absolutely swell! This is our first track that’s received such positive plays from both national and local radio airwaves, as well as the accompanying music video finding its own success.
How would you describe your sound and how did you come to it?
A unique blend of dolewave heart and honest songwriting akin to Scott and Charlene’s Wedding and Dick Diver. We were big fans of Courtney Barnett in high school and found our feet mixing it with the punk we grew up on
You’ve got a few shows coming up with Polly and the Pockets and Slush. What can one expect from a Jungle Breed live show?
We always try to ride the perfect balance of presenting our songs with honesty and intense energy. The three-piece dynamic offers no room for artificial sound, or consciousness.
Have you guys got any new music on the horizon?
Keep your eyelids peeled for the next two weeks as we release our next single ‘No Ideas’. We are super proud of it and excited to share it with everyone.
Catch Jungle Breed at The Retreat on Tuesday July 16 and at the Grace Darling Hotel on Sunday July 21. Give ‘em a spin via streaming services.
