PEOPLE

Music made by PEOPLE is for the people.
PEOPLE , a young three piece Rock & Roll band from Venice California are breathing new life into today's rock music scene. Forming band member and primary songwriter Jimmy Young leads the band on vocals and guitar with the solid rhythm section of Matt Mcjunkins on bass and Matt O on drums.
"PEOPLE", the new record, was produced by legendary rock producer Dave Jerden (Jane's Addiction, Alice In Chains, Social Distortion & The Offspring) with long time Platinum and Diamond credited engineer Bryan Carlstrom (Billy Idol, Anthrax, The Offspring & Rob Zombie). Jerden and Carlstrom have acquired over 50 million in album sales to date in their 10+ year partnership. With Jerden's and Carlstrom's history and talent, the duo bring Jimmy Young & PEOPLE to the level they need to be as artists and songwriters in today's Rock Genre. They hooked up with Bryan Carlstrom when Jimmy brought him a demo of the band’s new songs. He was very impressed with the music and played it for Dave Jerden, whom agreed, then offered to produce the bands next record which has resulted in a Rock & Roll gem. Combining elements of classic and punk rock influence from over the past 40 years of Rock & Roll music, PEOPLE smash down the idea of what Rock & Roll is in the 21st century.
When Jimmy was asked what it was like to work with such a prolific producer he replied, "It was like I woke up and knew what 'Rock & Roll' was". Like Dave says, "Rock & Roll is dangerous, Rock & Roll is fun, Rock & Roll will steal your soul, and if you don't know that your not Rock & Roll."
PEOPLE’s live show is equally energetic as their songs. With a cross between mayhem and owned attitude, PEOPLE are bringing true Rock back to the stage. The band also uses an array of video clips, shot in their home town of Venice, of people and lifestyles which is projected behind them as they play to ignite their performances.
The group's first record, "We're all animals" was self released in 2005. Following the release, the band did a short tour of the west coast which resulted in selling over 2500 copies out of the back of their van.
PEOPLE is a Rock and Roll band with a raw approach to life and music. With hook laden melodies and punchy melodic riffs, PEOPLE are bringing back what we have all missed in Rock & Roll.
