Bio

Older: OLDER have a passion for producing biting social commentary that takes a hard swipe at modern life. Jel Legg & Julie Legg produce music that is laden with antipathy for mainstream culture and is seasoned with an alternative point of view, wrapped up in a deceptive layer of respectability. As champions of the creative thinker and the under dog yapping in the wind, everything they write is inspired by first-hand experience.

Being driven by a love for high-energy music doesn't mean their music has to always be that way. Their productions can be both simple and cinematic while their lyrics question everything and assume nothing. Their thoughts and ideas can bite, but they are nice people, really. Their albums are honest and accessible to many listeners but equally they are never constrained by genre expectations or commercial goals.

The band are true ambiverts living away from people in rural New Zealand, happy in their own space and never more so than in their own Studio109. When they 'go out to play' they love to hang with interesting, creative types and engage deeply. They are the oddballs that never quite grew up, never quite fitted in and didn't like being members of the crowd. OLDER's 'inner child' is alive and well and seeing life for how pompous it can be.

If you are like OLDER then the odds are you'll like their music.

Band Members:
Jel Legg (music, lyrics, all instruments, engineering, production, mixing)
Julie Legg (music, vocals, lyrics, vocal production)

  • Iceberg

    OLDER's third studio album 'Unmasked' represents a refinement of their own style of alternative rock. Influences from mid 70s hard rock are evident in Iceberg - a song that explores the idea that with ADHD you only see 10% of us. Most of who we are is masked under the surface.

  • Silence

    The title tracks from OLDER's debut album of the same name. How well do your friends and family know you? The real 'you' is danced around in conversations that ask all the regular questions but none that actually matter, none that get to the heart of you. Then as a society we wonder why our suicide rate is so high, not just our youth but our middle-aged men. New Zealand's society can be polar, uncaring, cold and poisoned by endless advertising that is designed to make you want or need more. You're fed stereotypical visions of what makes a real man or woman which are false. Mainstream media is fake and divisive. To survive this myriad of meaningless diatribe needs strength of character that is testing for the most stable of minds. We need to break the silence. We need to talk, screw what other people think, screw their judgements. Open up. No more, Silence.

  • Underground

    Track 6 from OLDER's 2nd Album 'HUMAN+', Underground reflects both the sense of decay we saw in the empty streets of L4 lock down and at the same time explores the idea of going into dark, hidden, subterranean spaces, mentally and physically. Layered on top, literally, is that amazing feeling you get descending into the London Underground on a hot summers day.

This duo have everything that makes them a point of difference. Not only do they have years of experience in what they do as professional musicians, they also sound fresh and biting as ever.

Jules' voice is dynamic and those harmonies are to die for!! Jel's musicianship is tight and spot on. They also have great lyrics and interesting subject matters. Definitely a band to follow. I suggest you all check them out.
