Fresh off a debut single, \u201cWater Lilies<\/a>,\u201d which dropped last September, Jupiter Bloom<\/a> is the indie-rock crew Tampa didn\u2019t know it needed. Fronted by Ash Griffith (vocals\/bass) with Dominic Fonseca (rhythm guitar\/vocals) and Doug Jaramillo (lead guitar), this trio evolved from students singing in parking garages to professionals with a vision.<\/p>\n

Its sound leans indie, melodic and just a little edgy, perfect for dancing in tight quarters or staring at the ceiling in existential angst. Jupiter Bloom\u2019s releases and live shows alike feel youthful without being naive, tapping into the same lineage of melodic, festival-ready indie that\u2019s shaping the current scene. The group cite influences from Flipturn and Boygenius but have their own flair.<\/p>\n

Between a new release on the way, opening for Oceanic two nights in February, and performing at Crowbar\u2019s final Indie Night, Jupiter Bloom enters 2026 as a band primed to move from local buzz to broader recognition.<\/p>\n
