Young Jesus is an American indie rock band from Chicago, Illinois. Since 2014, the band has been based out of Los Angeles, California.
Young Jesus began as a high school band in the Chicago suburbs, consisting of two members who are no longer in the band. [1] While located in Chicago, there were two side projects featuring members of Young Jesus: Bummer and Wavepool. [2] As of the release of their debut album Home, in 2012, the band featured Rossiter, along with bassist Shawn Nystrand, lead guitarist Cody Kellogg, and drummer Peter Martin. [3] The only member of that lineup still in Young Jesus is Rossiter; Shevrin was a member of the band from 2015 until 2020 [4] and Borbon and Haug were members since 2016. [5] [6]
Young Jesus released the full-length album Grow/Decompose on Gigantic Noise Records in 2015. [7] In 2017, Young Jesus signed to Saddle Creek Records, [8] where they have released three full length albums. [9] [10] [11]
Young Jesus is not a Christian rock band, although they have been mistaken for one due to their name. [3] The band is influenced by Midwest emo and jazz, [1] and post-rock. [10] Their lyrics are influenced by ancient Chinese poetry, specifically from the Chan Buddhist and Taoist tradition. [1]
