Jack’s Mannequin
A friend of mine introduced me to Jack’s Mannequin last month and I have not turned the album off yet. Alternative, hipster rock for you cool kids out there.
If you’re a Death Cab for Cutie or Dashboard Confessional fan, you’ll like these guys.
Check it out here. My favorite songs are Miss California (obvious choice) and The Resolution.
Their lead singer, Andrew, was also the lead singer for Something Corporate, another awesome, awesome band. In college, I was fully obsessed with him! P.S. I would check out what your “check it out here” link links to…
The Glass Passenger is really really good, but I would recommend trying out Everything In Transit, their album from ‘05. It’s super catchy and almost five years later, I still love listening to it, especially when I’m working out.
Ooo, I’ll check that out too!
I think “hipster” implies some kind of newness.
Although I love Jack’s Mannequin and have for years.
Don’t try to sell them as something they’re not.
Check out the song Dark Blue from In Transit and Hurricane by Something Corporate. Two of my all time favorite songs! I love his major incorporation of the piano in most of his songs.
