Jocelyn formed in early 2012 when long-time friends and band mates Alex Wiese (bass) and Landen Boyer (Vocals) wrapped up college. With their degrees in hand, they finally found the time they needed to make a band what it needed to be. They connected with Steve Lydick (Guitar), and immediately recorded their debut EP 'To You And Yours' with producer Kevin Gates. June came and, along with releasing their debut EP, the trio set out on the road to promote the album, though not in the way you might expect. Jocelyn found tours of similar style and loaded a Honda Civic with CDs and flyers, hitting each and every stop the tours made. Here they were able to connect with fans one-on-one and introduce them to the band on much more personal level. Night after night of peanut butter sandwiches and empty parking lots where they would sleep in reclined car seats, Jocelyn grew their dedicated following. The band took time in between tours to write and found themselves with their second EP "Storyline" recorded in the early fall, 2012. With two large tours (All Time Low as well as Mayday Parade/The Maine) happening simultaneously that fall, Jocelyn enlisted the help of Josh Adams (Guitar/Vocals) to cover more ground and help promote. At the end of six months, the band had now covered over 100,000 miles, promoted at over 200 shows, sold over 10,000 albums, released an EP, recorded another, added a member, and amassed a nation-wide fan base. In January 2013 they set out on the better part of a three month acoustic tour of their own, playing in fan's living rooms throughout the midwest, northeast, and west coast. They also performed their first full-band show to release their 'Storyline' EP and played to a crowd that consisted of fans who traveled from over fifteen states and thousands of collective miles.  In July, 2013, Jocelyn launched a Kickstarter campaign to help raise funds to purchase a van and some touring equipment, in an attempt to launch their career from promotion and tour following. With a meager $5,000 goal set in hopes of purchasing the humblest van imaginale, the campaign reached it's goal in 10 minutes, then reached $10,000 within 48 hours, and went on to raise over $20,000 in a little over 3 weeks. The band attributes their Kickstarter's success to the most unbeliveable fan base there is, unique and well thought out rewards for people's donations, and their down to earth style of promotion that treated fans like people, rather than consumers whom they simply wanted to have buy their albums. In August 2013, Jocelyn embarked on their first full-band tour with Hello Highway and Once Upon A Time. The month-long tour hit A and B markets from Boston to LA and was widely successful, due in large-part to the dedicated fan base these bands had generated with a down to earth marketing strategy that highlighted personal connections over spam marketing and sales. Jocelyn is continuing to tour, as well as releasing a third EP in fall 2013.
