"We don?t have a manifesto, but we wish to MEAN what we say." - Hayley M.

It?s rare that a band really stands for something, unified in spirit and energised by a shared idea. The Jezabels are one such band, and ultimately they?re the only bands that count.

Mixing classic pop and disco with an expansive, emotionally sophisticated attitude to indie rock, The Jezabels present like few bands in recent years. Onstage, they?re intensity personified, with a presence and purpose that's emotionally raw, brittle, directed and genuine.

An audience can?t help but invest in them. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
