Sex Wizard

With over half of Jungle Fever heading back to Adelaide after the bands demise, three of the members (the important ones to this story) wanted to keep moving forward with their music and not rest on their laurels. From their itchy beginnings as Thrush, through to the yummy transformation into Choc Chip, we give you Sex Wizard! Hard to know which moniker would have the most impact but magic was the winner of the day.

Just Say Go!

An Australian Youth Crew Hardcore band, disbanded in late 2007.
Sing-a-long oriented. In late 2003, 4 kids got together in a small practice space in Brisbanes Fortitude Valley with the intentions of having fun and playing hardcore with heart and message. Drawing influences from the likes of Gorilla Biscuits, Insted, Bold, Chain of Strength, In My Eyes, Time Flies, Mouthpiece, and other youth crew bands, led to a fast paced, energetic sound.
