Here's a band that I've got really into recently. There are two (cute) females on vocals, lead and rhythm guitars, drums, bass, keyboards and trumpet. Dont knock it till you listen. This band can full out rock your ass when it comes down to it.As described by one of the band members, their music style is a dark alternative, but it's really all over the place.

There are a couple of songs and videos on their site and all of them are very different from each other. The 2 mp3s they have are a bit on the lighter side. I think they are planning on making an actual video for Past Due, which has a catchy mardi gras kind of sound, but I like A Little Strange better.

The videos clips are of a couple of their heavier things. The one at Samy's is from the end a song called No Innocent, which is way up there on my list of all time favorites, mostly because of the part that is in the clip. The newest song from the band is in the Practice video. I couldnt get Wrap Up to download right, so no idea what that one is.

I hope you all enjoy them as much as I do. They recently redid their site and it looks like they forgot to link to their forums, so I linked it below. Drop in and show some love.

To anyone who checked this band out and liked them, they've posted some new songs on their myspace page. http://www.myspace.com/straightjack
Edit: thanks sottilde, i fixed the link

They've been in talks with Roc-a-Fella records and may end up being the first rock group signed by them. The label sent them a cd full of beats to make songs with and "the machine" is one of the songs they made with that.

"Fade Away" is brand new too, but not based of those beats. "Lush" and "A little strange" are off their most recent ep.

Enjoy
