JAVELINA (hav-ah-Lee-nah) is a Los Angeles-based post-punk/ desert grunge/ alternative rock band whose self-described dark slithering grooves, hypnotic primal riffs, driving drumbeats, and introspective lyrics invoke names like Nirvana, the Pixies, Black Sabbath, The Beatles, and Kyuss. Emerging in 2018 and founded by front man Jason Knight and drummer Georgios Moustakas, and recently joining bassist Jeff Duck, the band is releasing their debut EP “Fair All Youth”, available in Spring and followed by a west coast tour.
Fair All Youth is as much a loud, raucous invite to explore the side of yourself without rules as it is a screaming idealism on what it means to be true to who you really are. Human beans born to be free. As the listener baths in elements of punk, psychedelia, 70’s heavy metal, new wave, and alt-folk they are transported to an otherworldly scene somewhere between hell-raising harmonic revolution and a dark lullaby drenched in overdrive.
