We Are Jiants

Blending a love of 90's alt-rock with modern indie sensibilities, Jiants is a Toronto-based project led by ex-pro skateboarder Jesse Landen. Throughout their time in the Toronto indie scene, Jiants have shared the stage with local and touring bands like Reuben and the Dark, Restorations, Wild Pink, Bike Thiefs and Hollow Graves and performed at festivals like Indie Week, Canadian Music Week and NXNE.

Jiants released their latest record, Tall Tales, in 2023. Produced and mixed by The Wooden Sky’s Gavin Gardiner at All Day Coconut Studios, Tall Tales is about learning to be comfortable alone and making time to heal before you move into a new phase of life.

Their self-titled debut was released in August 2016. NOW Magazine described the lead single "Paralyze" as a tune that will "transport you back to the best of 90s indie rock" while Paste called Jiants a "band to watch." Jiants' follow-up, Odd Trouble, was recorded in August 2017 at Candle Recordings and produced by Landen and Taylor Knox. The album blends infectious riffs and melodic keyboard lines with Landen's sun-cracked vocals to capture a nostalgic sound you’ll remember from a time that maybe never was.
