Jungal are three powerful young women who create their own brand of Australian-flavoured indie roots music blended with folk, soul and rock. Word has quickly been spreading of Jungal’s energetic live performance and catchy, positive songwriting, which comes to life through three harmonious voices. The unique and powerful ‘Jungal sound’ sets these girls apart from other female acts of their kind.

“Jungal is truly ‘causing a stir’ in Melbourne’s live music scene.” (MX
Newspaper).

The Sister Connection The underlying tie that binds Leisha Jungalwalla (guitars, vocals),Jessie Jungalwalla (drums, vocals), and Victoria Beard (bass, vocals) together is the unbreakable sister connection, which can be seen and heard throughout their music and elevates during Jungal’s enjoyable and passionate live performance. Big sisters Leisha and Jessie began playing in bands together in their teens and quickly added adopted sister Victoria Beard’s sounds into the mix. Littlest sister Kimberly Jungalwalla is often known to make a guest appearance on trumpet.

“[The girls of Jungal] work so well together; their voices and harmonies…It’s one of those things that’s just meant to be.” (Hannah of Little Fish, JOY FM)
