After nearly three decades as a unit, Jebediah know a few things about sticking together. The longtime rock mainstays weren’t long out of high school in Perth when their first single, 1996’s Jerks of Attention, broke out on Triple J. Released the next year, Jebediah’s debut album, Slightly Odway, became an instant Australian classic, imprinted on the psyches of many a late 90s teen.
