Los Angeles based rock group THE JANKS make it their mission to produce music in the same way they live their lives, with both sincerity and irreverence, strength and vulnerability, with control and chaos. Their sound is deeply rooted in the brotherly two-part harmony tradition of the Kinks and the Everly Brothers while invoking the musical stylings reminiscent of bands like the Raconteurs and Jeff Buckley. The way KROQ describes it; "Imagine Jack White had a baby with Jimmy Page. And that baby had a brother. And those brothers were adopted and raised by a commune of KROQ Local's Only favorites like Father John Misty and Family of the Year. That's a smattering of the sensibilities and stylings you get in The Janks."

Though the group has gone through various incarnations, Zachary Zmed (Vocals, Guitar) has remained the one constant. In 2010, he was joined by his brother Dylan Zmed (Vocals, Mandolin) releasing their second record Hands of Time. Along with touring both coasts, songs ,"Demon Dance" and "Rat Racers" have been featured on MTV's Real World Portland. In early 2012, the 'Brothers Zmed' were joined by Paul Kilmister (Bass, Production) and Leon LeDoux (Drums) affirming the bands mission. Since then, THE JANKS have played more than 300 shows including a West Coast tour, performing at the Troubadour, a residency at the Bootleg Theater and at the Satellite. LA Music Blog notes, "Their charisma and unapologetic joy for playing music comes through in full force during their shows." THE JANKS were also honored to be the backing band at LACMA for Billy Steinberg "Like a Virgin, True Colors", Rick Knowles "White Flag, Heaven is a Place On Earth" and JoJo "Too Little, Too Late".
