Calvin, Don't Jump! started as the solo recording project of J. Kirk Pleasant, a musician with extensive connections to the
Early in 2007, Pleasant announced that what had begun as a solo project would expand into a four-piece band, geared towards a poppier, more guitar driven sound. The band featured Pleasant (vocals and guitar), Nathan Matthews (bass), Lee-Ann Sheel (drums), and Shinobu Hata (keyboards).
Calvin, Don't Jump! released two full-length albums, as well as four 7" singles, a cd-r of live recordings, and a cassette EP titled Notes From Undersound. Pleasant's album Conscious of Conscience (2006) was his first true solo full-length album, drawing on assistance from no outside collaborators.
The band performed three concerts in 2010 and 2011[2] but appears to have broken up after that; its last social media post was in 2015.[3]
