The Jins have been on a tear for the last decade, bringing their
fusion of incredible riffs, bombastic drums, and driving basslines to
fans first in Vancouver, and then across Canada and the US.
Ben
Larsen, (guitar vocals) Hudson Partridge, (Bass) and Jamie Warnock
(drums/vocals) got the ball rolling in 2014 in the living room of a
shared house. This music was not destined to remain in the living room
however, and soon the Jins were playing stages both in Vancouver, and
then across Canada, with a self-produced EP and Album along the way.
The
hard work paid off in 2019 when The Jins were noticed by Vancouver
indie label 604 Records, and an EP was soon in the works with producer
Dave Genn (Matthew Good Band, 54-40). The resulting EP featured the
runaway hit "She Said" (14M+ streams on Spotify) and the eponymous
"Death Wish."
In 2022, The Jins returned with a vengeance and
once again hit the local scene with songs that they had kept in the
vault. The indie rock smoothness of "Metro", the air punching anthem of
"Stay Please", and the garage rock cool of "Effigy", the pieces came
together that would become 2023's "It's a Life" LP. While not afraid to
show their influences, one can hear the weight of Sabbath, the harmony
of the Beatles, the echoes of Smashing Pumpkins, all wrapped in their
unique swagger and humour.
When the three-piece hit the stage,
you are in for one thing and one thing alone, and that's a spectacular
show. The songs take on new life and become barrelling avatars on the
shoulders every rock band stands on. The crowd moves, sways, jumps, and
screams to the beck and call of the instruments and vocals as a wall of
sound crashes over you, just to recede and hit you once again. In
between guitar changes and Larsen's trademark banter, The Jins achieve
one thing on every song they play and every time they take the stage-
sheer passion, and the one goal of bringing everyone together for a good
time.
