About this listen
CHRVNS sits down with Now Defunkt and discusses humble beginnings in Huntington Beach, having an open invitation to jam, making music during lockdown, creating a Jamcation, community, finally getting to play live, and making a documentary about the whole thang.
Now Defunkt is a genre-blurring sonic collective that grooves like a vinyl record spinning in a raucous room—raw, electric, and impossible to pin down. Fusing the jagged edges of proto-punk with the soulful swagger of R&B fusion and the gritty rumble of alternative rock, their sound is messy in all the right ways: pulsing, alive, and full of motion. Born from lockdown as a family-and-friends experiment in radical creativity and interdependence, Now Defunkt conjures a primordial soul shift—equal parts catharsis and celebration, always with a twist of lemon. Their music doesn’t settle. It moves, it mutates, and somehow feels right at home everywhere it lands.
