Jack's Mannequin

So I set my iPod on the random setting while listening to my entire music collection and I stumbled over Jack's Mannequin, a band I had heard of from The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, and instantly remembered why I downloaded their music, it was that good. The song that they did on The Daily Show that made me look them up, and get deeper involved in listening to their work was their song Swim.

This song, for me at least, went past the ears and had me zoning out and begging for more of their work, and thanks to the internet, I found it and downloaded those works that I previewed and liked and didn't download those that I didn't. Other works including such works as The Resolution

and Dark Blue.

These are just a small number of the songs that have turned me onto Jack's Mannequin. I feel that there is almost a sense of urgency in the lead singer Andrew McMahon's voice, maybe it's just me. I think it is this seeming sense of urgency that gives each song a unique sound, even though the band does have its own distinctive sound. It also turns out that Jack's Mannequin have a tour date set for April 15, 2012 in Erie, Pa and no future dates as of now.
