Just Jinjer (formerly known as Just Jinger) is a contemporary rock group hailing from South Africa.[1] Just Jinjer is one of the top-selling rock bands in South African history, with over 250,000 units sold.[2] Over the last decade, the band has performed and toured with U2, Counting Crows, and Def Leppard among many others, performing both locally and internationally in the United Kingdom and Dubai, and released six critically acclaimed albums.

The band's debut album, All Comes Round, became the best-selling rock album in South African history.[3] Their second album, Something for Now, was certified gold in only three weeks from release.[3] Both albums achieved platinum certification.[4]

In 2004, they performed several arena shows with Counting Crows and completed their own tours in London and Dubai. In 2005, the band recorded their international debut album with Grammy Award–winning producer David Bianco in Los Angeles.

In 2006, Just Jinger changed the spelling of their name to 'Just Jinjer', to avoid having the second word in their name mispronounced or instead of .[1] [3] [5] They released a new eponymous album in 2006 with this new spelling, consisting of 13 songs including both new and old material.[5]
