From Speakerzoid to Quiet Ferocity: Sam Hales on the High-School Band He Formed with Cesira Aitken, Andrew Dooris, and Keelan Bijker—The Jungle Giants

 

Sam Hales is the songwriter, singer, guitarist, multi-instrumentalist, and now the producer of most of Jungle Giants’ music. They have released three albums and two EPs, and for the first EP, Sam worked two jobs, one at a convenience store, the other at McDonald’s, just to make the money to fund the recording. He and the other members, Cesira Aitken, Andrew Dooris, and Keelan Bijker all met in high school, when some of them played in rival bands.
