The Jezabels are an Australian indie rock band formed in Brisbane in 2007. They consist of Nik Kaloper on drums, Samuel Lockwood on lead guitar, Hayley Mary (also known as Hayley Frances McGlone) on lead vocals, and Heather Shannon on piano and keyboard. They have described their genre as "intensindie" though later said that this was just a joke that they put up on a social networking site though people took them seriously. From 2009 to 2010 the group issued a trilogy of extended plays,
The Man Is Dead,
She's So Hard and
Dark Storm - all produced and engineered by Lachlan Mitchell. Two of their releases have reached the ARIA Singles Chart Top 40: the
Dark Storm EP (October 2010) and their single "Endless Summer" (August 2011).
They released their debut studio album,
Prisoner on 16 September 2011. It peaked at No. 2 on the ARIA Albums Chart and won Best Independent Release at the ARIA Music Awards of 2012. They released their second album
The Brink on 31 January 2014.
