Band Research - Jungle Doctors




Since the release of their ‘Open Up’ EP in 2014, Jungle Doctors have been played on E4’s ‘Made In Chelsea’, and pickedup lots of attention from blogs and radio stations such as BBC Radio 6, Amazing Radio, BBC Radio London and XFM, and they have played at shows and festivals all over the country, including Great Escape Festival and more recently a show at Kingston’s New Slang supporting The Cribs. Jungle Doctors are a band formed  in 2011 in Teddington, London, they’ve changed their sound since the birth of the band from a 3-piece banjo playing folk band to the rather special sound they’re making today as a group of 5. Falling under the Indie-Rock genre, they produce very upbeat songs and have a similar vibe to The Two Door Cinema Club. 

They’ve even been mentioned by The Kooks as a band to look out for, that’s quite the co-sign.Their most prominent single, ‘Falling’ is an eclectic mix of Two Door Cinema Club, Kooks and Foals. Jungle Doctors are set for success, it’s truly a matter of when, and not if. I assume the likes of BBC Radio 1 and BBC 6Music will pick up Jungle Doctors before long.
We've chosen to use the Jungle Doctors because of how local they are to us and because we have a friends who's brother is in the band. Their songs are very easy to visualise a narrative for and upbeat to keep up to, considering the jump-shots we could involve. We're also quite familiar to the indie-rock genre as we're part of the subculture ourselves and are familiar with the forms and conventions associated in such music videos, I reckon its good to have already established knowledge of a genre rather than delving into a genre we know little about.
