Jane N’ The Jungle releases new single “Parasite”

Jane N’ The Jungle’s story starts in Phoenix, Arizona, where childhood friends Jordan White and Brian Dellis first began turning their shared passion for music into a reality. Formed over a decade ago, the band has grown far beyond their garage rock beginnings, earning their place in the modern alternative rock scene with a sound that blends metal, punk, emo and anthemic rock. Jordan’s commanding vocals and Brian’s razor-sharp guitar work form the backbone of a style that’s equal parts fierce energy and relatable storytelling.

Their rise began to gather pace with their debut single “Tonight” in 2019, followed by their first full-length record Concrete Jungle later that same year. Straight away, Jane N’ The Jungle showed an ability to deliver high-impact rock that connects on both a visceral and emotional level. In 2022, they doubled down on that momentum with the Ocean Creatures EP, a release that expanded their fanbase and confirmed their reputation as purveyors of unapologetically bold rock.

That project caught the attention of major names, earning the band endorsements from Gibson Guitars and putting them on stages alongside a diverse range of artists including Jordin Sparks, Sammy Hagar & The Circle, The Warning, Escape The Fate, Jinjer, Plush, Lacey Sturm, Saving Abel and The Unlikely Candidates. Their live performances have become a defining element of their identity; intense, passionate and fuelled by the same pure emotion that drives their recordings. Last year’s Life of the Party EP showed a more intricate side to their artistic output, pairing heavy-hitting instrumentation with moments of stripped-back aesthetic.

As they move toward their next full-length album, Jane N’ The Jungle have been rolling out singles that hint at the record’s range including “GTFO,” “Beauty Queen” and “Disco Lemonade.” Now, they’ve unveiled their brand new single titled “Parasite,” a hard rock offering produced by Cameron Mizell, whose worked with artists such as Machine Gun Kelly, Avril Lavigne and Jelly Roll. “Parasite” tackles a theme that feels particularly pressing; the growing influence of AI and the unsettling ways it’s shaping human behaviour, turning us all into metaphorical parasites.

Set up by the ominous pulse of flutter low end, the steady clicks of percussion kick starts a downtempo groove capped by Jordan’s hypnotic vocal leads. Gliding with a trip hop-tinged vibes, the deep textures and eerie vocal melodies swirl before the crash of guitars and punch of drums launches the track into a stomping alternative rock scene. Led by belted vocals that soar above the arrangement, the gripping melodies fly high as the impact of Brian’s guitars forms an engrossing backdrop.

At once rousing and thematically profound, “Parasite” delivers an utterly riveting listening experience from start to finish, showcasing Jane N’ The Jungle’s knack for laying down epic rock moments while filtering their influences through their experimental lens. With their highly anticipated forthcoming record on the way, fans will have a lot to look forward to from this incredible duo who continue to operate at the very highest level.
