Biography
Founded
in 2010 by childhood friends Bryan Buss and Jordan Bassi after many
punk-rock and metal bands. The music grew to be strongly
Anti-Capitalist, Anti-Corporate and Anti-Globalization especially after
living in Hollywood, CA while attending The Musicians Institute on
Hollywood Boulevard. The band often states “The school experience at MI
showed us more what we did not want to do, than what we
wanted
to do. We realized who we are and what we stand for immersed in so much
of what we weren’t.” But despite the bands inherent punk-rock spirit,
the music has often been in contrast with its heavily melodic and
positive nature.
Shortly after MI the band released the self
recorded “Too late to die young” in early 2011 of which only about 67 CD
copies were made.
The band has also asserted itself as being
strongly Pro-Animal Libertarian with their self recorded, self released
EP in late 2011 entitled “Tenterhooks” dedicated to any and all animals
living or have lived with abuse. Only 100 CD copies were made in the
first run, but in mid 2012, 300 vinyl copies were pressed with handmade
packaging and personalized notes by the band.
By 2013 Jung
People had toured across Canada and opened up for bands such as Crystal
Castles and Olafur Arnold’s along with playing 2013’s SXSW Music
festival in Austin, TX and CMW in Toronto, CA.
The band is
currently working on releasing their first full length studio album
entitled “Gold Bristle”. Recorded at Thee Mighty Hotel2Tango studio in
Montreal, QC. The album so far has been described by the band as being a
concept album entangled with a children’s story written by the band and
to be included with every physical copy. The band has also announced
the small accompaniment of brass and string players for the future live
performances. The release date for “Gold Bristle” has not been announced
yet.
