Young Jesus began as a high school band in the Chicago suburbs, consisting of two members who are no longer in the band. [1] While located in Chicago, there were two side projects featuring members of Young Jesus: Bummer and Wavepool. [2] As of the release of their debut album Home, in 2012, the band featured Rossiter, along with bassist Shawn Nystrand, lead guitarist Cody Kellogg, and drummer Peter Martin.
