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 STP, Oasis, Neil Young, The Doors, Our Lady Peace, Foo Fighters, and Metallica. They have developed a devoted following over the past three 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 with shows in Montreal, Toronto, Ottawa, Calgary, and have opened for State of Shock and 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 have just completed their new EP Memory Starts to Fade with talented producer Adam Sutherland. The EP features the catchy singles Pin Me Down and Watch Yourself, as well as the haunting Nothing Left to Say. Jell's previous release Drown was long listed for 8 Grammy nominations at the 2008 Grammy Awards, in six catagories including Best Rock Album. Jell was nominated for Live Performance of the Year at the 2006 Island Music Awards, and in August 2006 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.
