BANDWATCH - Jukebox the Ghost

These guys are from my home town and rock!

"DC's Jukebox the Ghost are an extremely entertaining piano-pop trio that writes cleverly optimistic songs. Their music gives off an aura that vaguely resembles happiness. Imagine! Upon first listen to these guys you will probably think two things (depending on how in touch with the '90s you are); "Ben" and "Folds." It's true that singer/piano player Ben Thornewill shares strong vocal similarities to that other Ben's tenor. And, of course, it doesn't quell comparisons when they're both piano men. But Jukebox the Ghost probably lean a little more towards the dramatic flair (a la Queen) than Folds did (or does?). People go crazy for these guys at their shows. Maybe you will, too?" - OH MY ROCKNESS.com

"a refreshing reminder that the lighthearted electricity of a fantastic pop song is still filled with live wires." - Spin.com

“With music that's dynamic and often delightful...the band demonstrates ingenuity to match its ambition.” - Washington Post
