Jungle Background
Jungle started off with just two friends, Tom McFarland and Josh Lloyd-Watson. As friends from the age of 9, they went to school together and played in a few successful bands as well. They wanted to start their own band in 2013 and formed Jungle. They wanted to have their fans focus on the music and the aesthetics related to their tunes instead of on them. The band also wanted to include several artists on their tracks to create a unique collection of music and musicians with every song. Through the Chess Club Records label, they released their single, “The Heat,” and were nominated for BBC Sound of 2014 prize.
Jungle’s Greatest Hits
Jungle has many great singles and albums to their name. Some of their best singles are “Heavy, California,” “Time”, “Busy Earnin’”, “Smile” and “Platoon”. Their most famous albums are Jungle and For Ever. The group also hit number 13 on the New Musical Express charts for the Top 50 Tracks of 2014 with their song, "Busy Earnin’".
