Jungal are three powerful young women who create their own brand of Australian-flavoured indie roots music blended with folk, soul and rock. Word has quickly been spreading of Jungal’s energetic live performance and catchy, positive songwriting, which comes to life through three harmonious voices. The unique and powerful ‘Jungal sound’ sets these girls apart from other female acts of their kind. 

“Jungal is truly ‘causing a stir’ in Melbourne’s live music scene.” (MX Newspaper).

The Sister Connection


The underlying tie that binds Leisha Jungalwalla (guitars, vocals), Jessie Jungalwalla (drums, vocals), and Victoria Beard (bass, vocals) together is the unbreakable sister connection, which can be seen and heard throughout their music and elevates during Jungal’s enjoyable and passionate live performance. Big sisters Leisha and Jessie began playing in bands together in their teens and quickly added adopted sister Victoria Beard’s sounds into the mix. Littlest sister Kimberly Jungalwalla is often known to make a guest appearance on trumpet. 

“[The girls of Jungal] work so well together; their voices and harmonies…It’s one of those things that’s just meant to be.” (Hannah of Little Fish, JOY FM)


Debut Album “This Crooked Track” to be released in July 2010.


In July 2010, Jungal will release their debut album “This Crooked Track,” produced by Robyn Mai (John Butler Trio, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds) at Woodstock Studios in St. Kilda. The girls successfully launched the first single “Say It” in Melbourne, and took it on the road for a National Tour. The politically-charged song “Say It” received ample radio play on PBS, Triple RRR, and 3CR, among others, and Jungal fans literally stopped in their tracks to have a listen. Other national media features were published in Inpress, Scene Magazine, and a front cover spot on Southern Star Newspaper.

“Jungal is an admirable example of an all-female indie roots group staying true to the genre that they love.” (Chris Chinchilla, Inpress)

Travelling along the successful pathway of the single launch, Jungal will release the full studio release “This Crooked Track” on Friday 23rd July at the Evelyn Hotel in Fitzroy followed by an international tour of Canada and back across Australia in the coming months.
