History
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]
Musical style
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]
