The Jungle Giants formed in 2011. The Jungle Giants has 11 chart appearances on 6 radio countdowns from 1 station on RockLists, spanning 2012–2023.

The Jungle Giants came together in Brisbane in 2011, with Sam Hales singing and playing guitar, Cesira Aitken on guitar, Andrew Dooris on bass and Keelan Bijker on drums, and the same four are still at it. Their debut album, Learn To Exist, arrived in 2013 with "She's a Riot", a scrappy, bright-eyed indie rock record from a band still working out how big they could get.
Quiet Ferocity, in 2017, is where the guitars started to move the hips as much as the head: "Feel the Way I Do", "Used to Be in Love", "Bad Dream" and "On Your Way Down" all ride tight, springy grooves that sit somewhere between the indie club and the actual dancefloor. "Heavy Hearted" followed in 2019, and then came Love Signs, their fourth studio album, released on 23 July 2021, with "Sending Me Ur Loving", the title track, "Treat You Right" and "In Her Eyes" leaning even harder into a glossy, loved-up pulse. "Trippin Up" kept things moving in 2023, and the tally now stands at five full-length albums and two EPs.
