Jebediah
The band recorded the Twitch EP shortly before signing to Murmur, a label of Sony Music, in 1996. That year the band also won its first WAMI award for Best Stage Presence. Twitch was released in August 1996, debuting at number one on the Western Australian ARIA Chart. The band's next single, Jerks Of Attention, received substantial airplay on the Triple J radio network. High profile work on Homebake and the Big Day Out as well as support slots for Soundgarden, Everclear, the Presidents of the United States of America, Silverchair and You Am I further raised the band's profile.
The band won two WAMI awards in 1997 for "Most Popular Band" and "Most Popular Song" for Jerks Of Attention. The band recorded its first album Slightly Odway in 1997. Slightly Odway reached a peak of number seven on the national Australian charts due to the success of tracks like Leaving Home and Military Strongmen and number 2 on the ARIA alternative charts, within four months it was certified gold. Leaving Home was rated number 10 in the Triple J Hottest 100 music poll for 1997. Slightly Odway eventually went double- platinum (140,000 sales), with Teflon and Harpoon adding to its success. Jebediah also supported the Smashing Pumpkins in their 1998 Australian tour.
The band started recording its second album Of Someday Shambles in Melbourne in 1999. Animal, the first single, reached number 16 on the Australian ARIA Singles Chart. The band started touring Canada and New Zealand and won further WAMI awards for best video for Harpoon, and Vanessa Thornton winning Best Bass Player. Of Someday Shambles debuted at number 2 on the Australian album charts, reaching gold status and then platinum.
Jebediah started 2000 by playing its second Big Day Out tour. It continued touring internationally playing the United States, Canada and New Zealand. Jebediah released a split EP with Jimmy Eat World in the US through Big Wheel Recreation.
Jebediah recorded its self-titled third album in late 2000 and 2001. The first single Fall Down reached number 24 in late October 2001, the Jebediah album however was not released until five months later in March 2002. Whilst the album debuted at number 8 on the charts, it didn't quite reach gold status (with only 35,000 sales)
