JILLY! The Band is a queer, pop-punk artist and songwriter based in Brooklyn, NY. Lead singer, drummer, bassist, and rhythm guitarist Jilly comes from West Chester, PA and brings with them all of the whimsy, angst, and first-world problems from growing up in the suburbs. Heavily influenced by the Beach Boys, Queen, and Beatles CDs that played in the family SUV and the energetic 2000s sounds of All-American Rejects and 5 Seconds of Summer, Jilly strives to find the intersection between flashy, infectious melodies and emotional half-time breakdowns.
With the 50s-inspired gay single “Steady Sally,” Jilly has already begun to explore the dramatic journey of love in wlw dating circles and the agonies that come with it. This self-prescribed “goofy slut-rock” has graced stages such as the New Jersey Folk Festival and the Kennett Flash, as well as opened for Frankie Cosmos at their alma mater, Rutgers University. Now equipped with a Masters degree from Berklee NYC, you can find them infiltrating the bars of Brooklyn with an expensive sense of “I have to make it now because I just spent all that money on an arts degree.”
The next checkbox on Jilly’s To-Do list might just include a new EP encapsulating the dopamine-induced struggles of a jobless 20-something-year-old paired with some of the most terrific heartbreak songs ever written by a transmasc-pansexual-nonbinary with an envy for boyband-level rock recognition.
