JUKEBOX THE GHOST.
Remember that name, cause one day, their gonna be
HUGE.
Originally formed in Washington D.C. during college, the band consists of pianist and vocalist Ben Thornewill, guitarist and vocalist Tommy Siegel, and drummer Jesse Kristin. They originally named the band "Sunday Mail" and after a couple of years, took a break. When they returned from their hiatus, they renamed the band Jukebox the Ghost after combining lyrics from a Captain Beefheart song and a line from the book Pnin by Vladimir Nabokov.
They released their first album, Live and Let Ghosts, in 2008. Shortly afterwards, they toured with Ben Folds, then started their own tour of the UK, Nightmare of You, and then toured with Jenny Owen Youngs back in the U.S.

- Good Day
- Hold It In
- Beady Eyes on the Horizon
- Under My Skin
- Miss Templeton's 7000th Dream ( I find this song really creepy though )
- Static to the Heart ( this is my favorite on this album )
- Victoria
- My Heart's the Same
- Lighting Myself on Fire
- Fire in the Sky/Where Are All the Scientists Now?/A Matter of Time
Then, in 2010, the band released their sophomore album, Everything Under the Sun. Personally, I favor this album to their first. They definitely show a growth in their songs, songwriting, and musicianship.
- Schizophrenia
- Half Crazy (I think this is my favorite song on this album )
- Empire
- Summer Sun
- Mistletoe
- The Sun
- So Let Us Create
- Carrying
- The Sun (Interlude)
- The Stars
- The Popular Thing ( this song was feature in the movie "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" )
- Nobody ( they sound SOO much like The Beatles in this song! )
If those songs didn't win you over ( I don't know how you couldn't love them, but anyways... ) the real thing that sets Jukebox the Ghost apart from other bands in how phenomenal they are live. This band is really gonna be big one day.
