Editorial Reviews

Instantly catchy, piano-driven indie pop from Washington, DC's Jukebox The Ghost. Critics and fans rave about the group's quirky lyrics, inventive songwriting, and flamboyant, energetic live shows. They've performed with Ben Kweller, Regina Spektor, Kanye West, Le Loup, Ra Ra Riot, Tokyo Police Club, and Travis Morrison, among others. "Calling Jukebox The Ghost a 'mix between Ben Folds, They Might Be Giants, and Queen' certainly grabs my attention, especially when it turns out to be completely accurate" - VH1's Best Week Ever.

what can i say?? amazing, amazing, amazing! i've been into them for a little while now, before the full cd actually came out, and boy, did the whole thing really exceed my expectations, which were already high. static to the heart is definitely one of my favorite songs of all time (not like that list is small, heh), and so many more get trapped in your head, and you'll be singing along all day. with music really breaking boundaries nowadays, and influences molding and paving ways to new beginnings and genres, Jukebox certainly is leading the way to a great future. songs about waking up to the beatiful, ugly, odd, and raw things of life, with upbeat, toe-tappin, good fun driving it all to catchy satisfaction. i highly reccommend checking them out and adding this great cd to your collection, and enjoy a sampling of the some of the new music with true heart and passion these days, that are breaking the mold, and leading soundtracks to prevalent, and humble issues of what were all feeling in life right now. let live, let ghosts, and let jukebox rock your socks off!!!

I loved the band as soon as I heard the first single "Hold it in". The only drawback is that I have listened to them so much lately that I burned myself out.

Definitely a must listen if you like Ben Folds, Dismemberment Plan and possibly The Beatles even, as their music reminds me of a cocktail made up of the previous two with a splash of the third for good measure.

Jukebox is a trio from DC including 3 George Washtington students and this is their debut album. It's extremely energetic and poppy, even the somewhat tongue in cheek songs about the impending apocalypse. Alot of people compare them to Ben Folds, which is a fair comparison. They use drums, keyboard, and guitar for the most part and the piano-driven songs create great little pop tunes on this debut album. Their energy live also makes for a fun live show. I would say this is a great album if you are looking for some quirky pop songs that deal with subjects a bit of the beaten path, but still want a fun energetic romp.
