Jack's Mannequin @ Cannery Ballroom - Nashville, TN 10-18-11 Review - Jack's Mannequin @ Cannery Ballroom Nashville, TN Jack's Mannequin…the name has been sprouting up here and there since their latest release, "People and Things," so when I saw that they were playing the Cannery Ballroom, I decided to check them out. I listened to some tunes online, grazed the Wikipedia page, and asked around. My husband remembered singer Andrew McMahon's former band, "Something Corporate," as the band played "every three [...]
Andrew McMahon has been through a lot in the last seven-plus years, between reaching the heights of stardom with Something Corporate and his first solo album as Jack's Mannequin and then being diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in 2005. Most artists would take some sort of break after beating a horrible disease, but instead McMahon went right back to work—releasing a new album three years later. Now, he returns again with People and Things , his latest effort that focuses on finding normalcy whilst still showing the signs of a rough brush with death. [...]

Here I am, still listening to The Notorious Xx album, and now Wait What is gonna go and drop this beast on me! If you haven't heard Wait What's Biggie/Xx mashup album, listen to it on his Soundcloud or download it on his website . Anyways, his new mash album This is Real Life mashes an all-star cast of musicians in all kinds of unique ways. I can't help but think of (500) Days of Weezy when listening to this. It seems like [...]
Not too long ago, in the late 90's and early 00's, bands like Dashboard Confessional, Taking Back Sunday, Jimmy Eat World, and New Found Glory hit the airwaves in full force and managed to captivate an entire adolescent audience with their angst-ridden, heart-on-your-sleeve mantras. During that surge of emo came the piano-rock punks Something Corporate, who burst onto the scene in 1998 and released three full-lengths through the infamous Drive-Thru Records.

The band is playing together for the first time in six years following a hiatus. Lead singer Anthony McMahon blurbed about the reunion on Something Corporate's website: "The beauty of this reunion is that we waited until we were ready. There is such a good vibe going between all of us and getting to play these songs [...]
After playing all three Bamboozle fests this year, Something Corporate announced a reunion tour with a stop at NYC's Roseland Ballroom on August 13th. Tickets are expected to go on sale soon and will probably sell out fast. The band released their greatest hits compilation, Played In Space:The Best of Something Corporate,last month.
It happened fun timesssss thanks New Jersey. also Something Corporate was unreal good. if you get a chance you have to go see them this summer.
At first look, a compilation album from a band like Something Corporate seems pointless. Despite having quite the adolescent following, the SoCal piano pop-punksters' canon consists of a mere two studio albums (three if you count the demo heavy Ready...Break ) and a handful of EPs. But although you're better off buying the records, Played In Space: The Best Of Something Corporate does what countless other "best of" albums have done before: salvages choice cuts from a body of work that is at times, overlong. Now this isn't to say that their albums are [...]
Filed under: News , Exclusive , Politics as Usual As a cancer survivor, Andrew McMahon , aka Jack's Mannequin , has seen firsthand the importance of medical insurance. "I got lucky and I had two forms of insurance just by mere coincidence," he tells Spinner. " I was very blessed. But if I didn't even have that second form of insurance, me, who does pretty well, would have been sitting with a bill to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars. And that would have been with full [...]
by: gracew317 Courtesy of Spin Sunday marked the first reunion show of Something Corporate since the band went on haitus in 2006(crying face). The boys got back together for a 10 year reunion of sorts and rocked out Bamboozle Left in Anaheim, California. I can still remember the last time I saw the boys (2004 was a good year). It was glorious. I only wished that I had the time (and money) to fly to California to witness this awesome setlist. [...]
