Melodic LA indie-rock band The Jealous Sound carries an inspired musical history with it; drummer Bob Penn plays with the CoCo B’s, Michael Richardson plays with Benton Falls, current bassist Jeremy Tappero is a producer and mixer for a wealth of rock bands
and lead singer and guitarist Blair Shehan helped form influential emo-rock quartet Knapsack whose final album 1998’s This Conversation is Ending Starting Right Now is as powerful today as it was fifteen years ago. When Knapsack broke up in 2000, Shehan created The Jealous Sound, a band that has continued his former band’s legacy of anthemic, high-energy songs.
After several line-up changes (Richardson replaced original guitarist Pedro Benito, who left the band for a career in television and film and a Spinal Tap-esque drummer cycle) and a long hiatus following the band’s fantastic 2003 debut Kill Them With Kindness that included switching labels and rumors of Shehan quitting the band, the Got Friends EP saw the light of day in 2008. The Jealous Sound released their newest record A Gentle Reminder in January of 2012 to many positive reviews, receiving a mention from several critics of the prestigious 2012 New York Pazz and Jop write-up. The band recorded the album in their friends the Foo Fighter’s Studio 606 with Nate Mendal making an appearance playing bass!
After a short jaunt across the country last year, The Jealous Sound will be embarking on another tour in support of a deluxe version of A Gentle Reminder on Rise Records that, according to the band’s website, “will feature four previously unreleased songs, five new mixes, and a complete remaster.” There will also be a cd and vinyl reissue of Kill Them With Kindness which celebrates its tenth anniversary this year. The band will pay a visit to the Triple Rock Social Club on February 27th, so grab some comfortable footwear and be prepared to jump around!
