From Washington, DC, Jukebox the Ghost seems to have made it their goal to be on tour for the longest, consecutive amount of time than any other indie band in history. Actually, I don't know if that is true or not, but they are still touring all up and down the East Coast, hardly missing a day throughout October and into November.

Their MySpace page says the band "writes a fresh breed of melodic pop tunes driven by fiery rock momentum." Other reviews have said they sound a little bit like Ben Folds and some even say they sound like They Might Be Giants, but I think they are their own thing and I don't want to compare them to anyone else. The teasing vocals that sneak in without backing throughout their songs, the fun keys courtesy of Ben Thornewill, Tommy Siegel is at ease on his guitar and can jam out an awesome riff when you least expect to hear it, the hand claps, it's addicting and when the boys come together for a vocal harmony it's perfect. And somehow keeping all of those sounds balanced is Jesse Kristin on drums. It's just fantastic, their sound is incredible and I'm sad I haven't heard them until just now!

They have a new EP out right now and it's a definite record to add to your collection.
