Jw. is a project which blends the cool discipline of Protest the Hero, with the dynamics of Opeth and experimentation of BADBADNOTGOOD to create a fresh take on progressive metal.
Jw. was originally formed in 2016 as 'Driven Elenment', by Jeff Corcoran (guitars), Conor Mewburn (bass) and Chris Trupp (drums) - three university classmates from Brisbane, Australia. In March 2017, however, Corcoran relocated to Toronto, Canada for his studies - thus rendering Driven Element into a geographically agnostic outfit. During this time, the project was rebranded as Jw.
As the primary composer of jw., Corcoran has taken change in his stride; performing several solo sets in Toronto and self-producing his debut EP, ‘Wildly Indecisive’, to be released in March 2020. Jw. has conquered the tyranny of distance with unwavering passion.
