About Neon Jungle in brief
Shereen Cutkelvin, Amira McCarthy, Jessica Plummer, and Asami Zdrenka were formed by music manager David Cooper in November 2012. RCA Records UK signed the group by June 2013 and showcased them at a press event, although they did not have a name at the time. In August 2013, Neon Jungle released their debut single \”Trouble\”, which entered the UK Singles Chart at number 12 and reached the top 10 on the US Billboard DanceElectronic Digital Songs chart. The group’s second single, \”Braveheart\”, was released in January 2014 and peaked at number four. In July 2014, their debut album, Welcome to the Jungle, was released. The album includes a cover of Banks’s \”Waiting Game\”, which attracted publicity after Banks publicly acknowledged her dissatisfaction with the cover’s release months prior to that of her own debut album.
In May 2015, the group announced via social media that they were disbanding. They performed at various UK music festivals during mid 2014, including Wireless Festival, T in the Park and the Blackpool Illuminations Switch-On Festival Weekend. They were nominated at the 2015 Teen Choice Awards in the category of Choice Music: Next Big Thing.
