Excited to share the new music video “The Menu” from Los Angeles based rock disruptors Jane Doe. The hard-hitting track is from the band’s sophomore album Found and it encompasses a powerful and symbolic shedding of the past, where vulnerability is forged into unshakable strength.
Directed by Ava Taleure, the music video strikes a dynamic balance between moments of chaos and calm.It opens with a face-melting guitar riff and salty, defiant lyrics, as the camera locks on the poised profile of lead singer Izzy – still, focused, and poised. As the song progresses, the track explodes with thumping bass, kinetic drums, and soul-shaking vocals. Izzy’s hands come into frame, chopping her hair off until she’s handed an electric razor and shaves the rest of her head.
“I took back my agency and started a new chapter. We feel like so many people can relate to the need for a fresh start. Shaving my head on camera was really freeing. No one needs to conform to ‘traditional’ notions of beauty or image. This song is about combating that archaic thought process.”Jane Doe continues to forge ahead in the rock world. The band has received acclaim Atwood Magazine, The Luna Collective, Melodic and more.
Jane Doe is not your average band – not by a long shot. With an authentic sound woven from the milieu of rock and roll, the West Coast based Jane Doe is fronted by a defiant, opinionated but incredibly smart and compassionate woman, singing, screaming and messaging an entire generation of whom she’s connected to. Jane Doe’s National (US/CDN) campaign launched along with their debut album “Identified”, January 2019 and was mastered by none other than the legendary Howie Weinberg. With tunes like the brutally honest ‘Final Line’, epic throwbacks and homage tracks like ‘This is a Rock Song’, as well as the empowering ‘Scab’ and haunting ‘Scar Territory’, Jane Doe’s music has become part of a new multi-generational soundtrack.
Their sophomore album Found was released in the summer of 2024 and received much critical acclaim. Guitar Girl Magazine proclaimed, “Jane Doe stands out in the new generation of bands, pumping out monster waves of mind-blowing grunge”, while Luna Collective praises the band as “defying expectations”.

Above all else, Jane Doe is the generation that doesn’t fit a specific mold. Jane Doe is a square peg in a round hole. Jane Doe is the wave of people who identify with the past but shape the future.
