The Jealous Sound is a Los Angeles indie rock band composed of vocalist and guitarist Blair Shehan (formerly of Knapsack), guitarist Pedro Benito (formerly Sunday’s Best), bassist John McGinnis, and drummer Adam Wade. Their first album The Jealous Sound EP was released in 2000. In 2003 they shopped around their demos for a follow-up to their 2000 release The Jealous Sound EP and were set to release an album on Mojo Records. Soon after their signing, Mojo parted ways with Universal leaving them without a distribution deal. Shuffled over to Mojo/Jive and with little interest in the band they decided to leave the label and return to Better Looking Records to record Kill Them With Kindness with producer Tim O’Heir. In 2005 they announced via their website that they had signed to The Militia Group for their follow-up to 2003’s Kill Them With Kindness which is to be produced again by Tim O’Heir. The official band website has not been updated since 2005, and rumor has spread that lead singer Blair Shehan has decided to quit the band. Variations on the rumor say that he has given up performing music. However, on June 1, 2006, the band posted a blog on their MySpace, commenting that work on their upcoming LP for The Militia Group is progressing. The band released their second EP, Got Friends, on iTunes on October 14, 2008.

Un groupe qui aura longtemps tourné sur ma platine. mais j'avoue avoir été plutôt déçu par le nouvel EP. 3 chansons seulement... Alors on a ce qu'on voulait, ça reste du Jealous Sound et c'est ce qu'on voulait tous je crois, mais le problème est... que ça reste du Jealous Sound. Ils ont un peu fait le tour, ou en tout cas il manque un truc pour que ça me fasse bander autant que leurs anciennes chansons (qui définitivement me rendaient dingue!)

I've just heard for the first time Got Friends, I didn't even know they did any new stuff since Kill Them With Kindness. This is such a perfect song. Just brings me to my mind the brightest moments of The Promise Ring along with the finest Last Days of April. Lyrics though, follow the naive high school poetry style if their earlier releases.
