Meeting in 2003 while attending George Washington University, this group would change styles and names only once, landing and sticking on the Captain Beefheart lyrically inspired name of Jukebox the Ghost.
Only a few years later the group would be touring with piano powerhouse Ben Folds, and by 2009 would be creating their 2nd release Everything Under the Sun and later would be headlining their own concerts.
Their latest album Safe Travels exposes maturity from a band that started when the average age of this three piece was 19 and a half. Hitting on topics of major life changes; good and bad, the lyrics of this June 12th release, hold nostalgic with dark lyrical undertones, breaded with falsettos, and pop piano/ guitar techniques that advances the band musically without accusations of selling out.
Right now for the low price of your Email address you can download the bands new single Oh Emily, directly from their website. And for any skeptics here is yet another amazing piece of art from a band that shows no signs of slowing down their awesomeness.
This is Jukebox The Ghost.
