Formed from various styles of punk and similar minded bands, JUMP THE SHARK are the new breed of "I don't give a f*ck attitude," and "what you see is what you get"-ism. With several demos recorded, including 2007's The Sweet Lou Demo, the band played as many shows as they could jump on, slinging their latest recordings to the dirty little hands of the hardcore kids and punk rockers in and around Panama City, Florida. Eventually JTS got off their asses and did some extensive touring around the U.S. with the likes of CEREMONY, BLACKLISTED, KIDS LIKE US, and BRACEWAR. Touring made the band re-evaluate themselves, focus on getting organized and start writing what they wanted to hear and not what the "in" thing is at the time. After some rehashing, literally and figuratively, drummer Jordan Leake set out to record the full length DIY, packed with the intensity and fury from their live shows--Staring Death is the hatchling. You can call JUMP THE SHARK many things but insincere is not one of them.
