Jacob Givens - Your Next Favorite Band

There's a good chance you've seen Jacob Givens have a hilarious reaction to a killer track from the 90s, and if you haven't ... you should.

He's developed a series of videos that attempt to express what it was like to hear some of the iconic grunge music of the 1990s for the first time and how mind-blowing it was, and we'd never listen to music the same way after.

He also has a similar series of videos called Buried Treasures that look to reconnect everyone to some of the tracks and artists that may have been a little more under-the-radar and possibly forgotten about.

We'll share a handful of each of these shorts, and also hear Jacob's journey as music lover and entertainer - starting from the Midwest, and then chasing the dream to Los Angeles.

He's also a musician, performing in a 90s cover band called Temple of the Dads.  And they have a benefit show coming up on Sunday June 14th 2026 at The Regent Theatre in L.A.

Can't wait to geek out grunge style!
