Jell is an original rock band from Victoria BC with a sound that focuses on guitar-driven modern rock with catchy vocal hooks and clever insightful lyrics. Jell draws on a variety of influences from bands like Stone Temple Pilots, Oasis, Finger Eleven, Our Lady Peace, Foo Fighters, and Metallica. They have developed a devoted following over the past five years from constant touring, headlining shows in Victoria, Seattle, Vancouver, and producing six popular independent music videos.
In the last three years Jell has toured across Canada twice and have opened for State of Shock and hair metal legends L.A. Guns. They have also toured down the west coast three times playing at both the famous Whisky a-go-go and The Roxy Theatre in Los Angeles. Jell has just returned from Michigan where they recorded two new songs with Evans Blue producer Trevor Kustiak, which they will be adding to their Memory Starts to Fade EP. The EP features the singles Careless and Watch Yourself.
Jell was nominated for Live Performance of the Year at the 2007 Island Music Awards, and in August 2007 they won the Coors Light Battle of the Bands in Victoria. In October they became the Band of the Month on the major Victoria radio station 91.3 the Zone, featuring the single Stuck which was added to the play list and soon moved up to heavy rotation.
Jell offers music fans a fresh new rock sound that fully entertains with original guitar riffs, poetic but to the point vocals, and an overall dramatic feel.
