Jukebox the Ghost: official website; myspace; Jukebox The Ghost are three friends, Ben Thornewill on piano, Tommy Siegel on guitar and Jesse Kristin on rhythm. Bouncing out of Washington D.C. two years ago, Jukebox The Ghost purvey classic ebony and ivory pop, flavoured with their own brand of quirky lyrics and inventive song writing. Since the bands birth they have been writing and touring non stop, determined to bring their music to the masses the good old fashioned way; by doing everything themselves. It seems to have paid off; Jukebox The Ghost can boast 'Let Live and Let Ghosts, various EP's and singles, and a second album well on its way. Plus, over 250 shows world-wide, with the likes of Ben Folds, Tokyo Police Club, Ra Ra Riot and Jenny Owen Youngs and more.

Written in equal parts by band members Ben Thornewill and Tommy Siegel, produced by Ted Comerford, 'Let Live and Let Ghosts' is 40 minutes of rambunctious, exuberant pop rock.

Jukebox the Ghost just finished recording their second record with Peter Katis (The National, Interpol, Mates of State) at Tarquin Studios in CT, and will be on the road again this March with tour-mates Tally Hall (Atlantic Records). The next record will be released in 2010.

More info on the new record COMING SOON. In the meantime, check out this video : Jukebox the Ghost - The Documentary Trailer on Vimeo

Drink Up Buttercup: official website; myspace; "Describe a band with the words "Beatles" and "pop" and people think they've got nothing to worry about. A little music hall piano, a clever turn of phrase, a few well-placed power chords, and there you have it: a pleasant but nonthreatening evening. Well, Drink up Buttercup may belong to the Beatles pop family, but it's made of more aggressive stuff. Signature song "Mr. Pie Eyes" rides a primal punk-ish lurch, all four band members slashing away at the same iron-giant-toppling riff. And when "Seasickness Pills" comes up, singer James Harvey works maniacally, guitar rampaging, tambourine banging and mike cowering before him. Visceral, exciting, theatrical, yes-but "Penny Lane" it definitely isn't." (c) 2008 Jennifer Kelly - PHILADELPHIA WEEKLY

Via Audio: official website; myspace; It’s not the norm, the way the Via Audio quartet does its work in lyric. The same definitive statement can be made about the Brooklyn band’s full repertoire of delicate and spacey mood-shining, but it’s in the conclusive way in which the various songwriters put their feet down that is anti-indie rock establishment.
