Biography:



When it comes to recent homegrown South African Rock, no other band has ignited the imagination of thousands of fans the country over quite just like Just Jinger



In 1997, the year the group's debut album, All Comes Round, was unleashed on the South African music scene, few might have predicted that in the space of a year, the album would shift platinum, score no less than four Top 40 hits on 5fm (South Africa's largest national radio station) and earn the fledgling group the front cover of Billboard magazine. After all, the SA rock scene is renowned for its unyielding boundaries, with album sales in particular more often that not barely scraping the 10 000 mark.



Along the way, Just Jinger frontman, Art Matthews, and his bandmates always drummer Brent Harris along with several different bass and guitar players (Tuks, Verny Scholtz, Denholm Harding and Dan Janse Van Rensburg) were transformed from being part of a regular rock playing band on the circuit to bonafide stars. Much of this rested on Just Jinger's obvious skilled musicianship, and the band's and Matthews' in particular electrifying stage presence. But mostly it had to do with the singer and guitarists' ability to pen songs of epic proportions, marking Matthews' out as one of the country's most accomplished songwriters. The latter probably took some of the group's first fans off guard after all, to earn a living, Matthews had been playing the cover band circuit for some time before securing a recording contract with BMG Africa in 1996. But with each Just Jinger release, Matthews proved the chart topping tracks off All Come Round were no fluke. His was and indeed is a songwriting gift that resides in the modern rock tradition but is pretty much flawless, instantly accessible, quite frequently gorgeous, diverse and always memorable.
