The Jins

**The Jins** are a Vancouver-based indie rock trio serving up raw, riff-driven tunes that channel grunge’s gritty spirit with a modern garage-rock punch. Formed in 2016, the band—Jamie Doern (vocals/guitar), Hudson Partridge (bass), and Ben Larsen (drums)—burst onto the scene with a sound that nods to '90s icons like Nirvana while carving out their own scuzzy, hook-filled lane. Their 2022 debut album, *It’s a Life*, anchored by standout tracks like the title song and the sneering "Death Wish," solidified their reputation for blending angst-fueled lyrics with head-bobbing melodies.

Known for sweat-drenched live shows and a DIY ethos, The Jins have become a staple in Canada’s indie circuit, touring relentlessly and dropping infectious singles like "She Said" and the cheekily titled "Pop Song." Whether they’re riffing on existential dread or cranked-up anthems (see: "Crutch" or the punchy "Metro"), their music feels like a garage-party time machine to the heyday of flannel and mosh pits—but with a fresh, unapologetic edge.
