Wow, this is wonderful. What a perfect way for a band to start out. Five songs that only leave you wanting more. The Jealous Sound features the same soothing vocals that won so many hearts for the band Knapsack (probably one of the most prominent indie rock bands in the 90's). Compared to Knapsack I would say the songs tend to be a bit slower, although they still rock you with their complexity and charm.
The songs are very melodic, and almost instantly singalongable. Those who loved Knapsack will definitely want to get their hands on this. Those that did not like Knapsack, or are not familiar with them will probably still want to check this out and we should all look for big things from this band in the future. This album is top notch, go get it!

Decapolis 2000Reviewed by Matt R.When I heard the news of Knapsack's break-up I was rather upset, especially having never seen the band live, but the release of Jealous Sound's debut has made me completely forget about it. For all intensive purposes this EP is the new Knapsack record, because everything I loved so much about them is here, same frontman and all. With their self-titled debut, Blair Shehan and company take that…Similar sounding releases
