about
Janine, We Should is an indie/alt act from Orange, CA formed in May 2008 by Justin Le and Stanly Tran. The two were carried away by a singular vision: "Hey, let's make music." And so, one day, they did. Their influences mainly drew from sources such as Coldplay and Death Cab for Cutie, but from those roots they've expanded into a simple, unique acoustic sound driven by the full range of emotions. The two musicians met at El Modena High School. With influences ranging from all over the acoustic indie and alt rock spectrum, Justin and Stanly Tran found themselves in a rare state of shared direction. Despite coming from vastly different musical backgrounds and only collaborating twice before (as stand-ins for a MUSE cover band, at that, and performing in EMHS winter drum line), the two quickly realized that what they both had in mind for Janine, We Should was more or less identical. On a dark and lonely night of broken dreams, Justin penned the first song. Just like that, the band was quickly under way with a momentum that could not be stopped. Despite a pause in the summer, the group (despite losing a loved member and gaining another) continued to pick up its pace. After writing enough songs for an album, Janine, We Should put on a successful debut house show with an impressive turn-out in November 2008. From there, things took off. The members personally invested in recording equipment and software and turned out the four-song All I Know Demo EP at the end of December.
