Cover Feature Jungle: The most exciting band in the world?

In the end, the faces behind JUNGLE have proven to be the least important part. From a breakdancing six-year-old to a duo of synchronised rollerskaters, right up to the palm trees, knock-off Vauxhall Astra’s and vintage jackets that grace their imagery, the face of JUNGLE is unidentifiable. It splinters off in different directions, invites anyone and everyone into its circle. Like any movement, it threatens to explode at any second. This summer could be that very moment.

The minds leading all of this - Josh Lloyd-Watson and Tom McFarland, aka ‘J’ and ‘T’ - aren’t shy, retiring figures. They profess the ‘let the music speak for itself’ line, but they’re not doing this out of fear. There’s a purpose. “Although we do the music, I never ever wanted it to be about us,” says Josh, in-keeping with countless bands who begin mysterious, identity-free.
