about
The Junglists are a 7 piece boy band from Newbury who formed in 2003 and play music in the style of what is commonly know 'ska-punk'. They have recently evolved into a much more atmospheric and thoughtful band with obvious influences of early Take That coming through every now and then. Whilst the lead singer is Will Harvey, the main attraction for the more shallow of the visitors to the gigs is Danny Jones. Soon after forming, they released the first EP, left untitled, which featured one of their which featured one of their biggest hits - LIES, and many other favourites. Soon enough they released their first official, self-titled EP, which featured the amazing instrumental violin led track 'Sorry Dave' as well as an enhanced re-recording of 'Lies'. The EP sold around six hundred copies in only a few months, with one of the tracks receiving BBC Radio 1 airplay. Their last release, entitled 'EP2', showed the band having a change of direction musically, with their most experimental songs to date, such as 'Cross the Line' and 'People's Friend'. Their last gig was at Newbury Corn Exchange on September 15th, where they played a set encapturing a whole range of their back catalogue.
