The Death of Jason Brody Plays Mercury Lounge on January 31st + CD Review

Well...Jason Brody is not dead but rather making Joe Jackson/Elvis Costello-inspired indie-rock. The band released their first EP in late 2006 and it is a great debut that captures a lot of the post-punk sounds of the 90's and beyond.

Brody has a great voice for this style of music as he can range from a near sound-alike to Daryl Palumbo/Joe Jackson to a Jeff Buckley style falsetto. The band seems to have an equally wide range which spans from rich Coldplay-style musical textures (check out the break-up tune "Broken") to new wave-ish opening track "Call Off Your Dogs".

The band has posted a new demo track "Emergency" as a free download on their website.

The Death of Jason Brody have been both touring and working on a new CD so they haven't played that many shows in town as of late. Check out the band's upcoming show at the Mercury Lounge on January 31st.

Tickets are only $10.
