The Jealous Sound is a Los Angeles emo/indie rock band composed of vocalist and guitarist Blair Shehan (formerly of Knapsack), guitarist Pedro Benito (formerly of Sunday’s Best), bassist John McGinnis, and drummer Adam Wade bassist Josh Staples, and drummer Bob Penn.
Not much is out there on this band, other than the fact that they went through a long period of uncertainty (even as far as the Village Voice accusing Shehan, saying that he “went crazy and more or less disappeared”).
Drama aside, Shehan has the post-grunge/emo sound dialed in and locked down. Tracks like The Gift Horse showcase why they are a perfect match to current tourmates Sunny Day Real Estate.

Chris enjoys candlelight dinners, kittens, and long walks on the beach. Okay, not really, but he does like being in Houston to check out new bands in the great indie rock band scene. 
There is a new incarnation of this band touring now:
Bob Penn is the drummer
Josh Staples in on bass

Thanks for the info.
I’ve seen these guys and they are pretty good. Kudos to the website too. What a nice way to be informed of what’s really out there. I’ve worked at record stores and massive amounts of music comes out not noticed.
Thanks! Let me know if you hear of anything spectacular that needs noticing.
