about

"This band is a monster.

JKPB is an unsung supergroup, full of transcendent transplants and masterful misfits from around the East Coast music scene. It sprung legs in fall of 2006 and hasn't slowed down since. Since then, a self-released album, a couple tours, and countless packed dance floors have only added fuel to the fire.

You've never heard anything like this. This is what happens when you combine a blues-minded keyboardist, a rock-obsessed guitarist, a drummer who grew up on punk and ska, and a classically trained pianist turned bassist. It's complex. It's loud. It's hard. It's fun. It's full of surprises. It's rock and roll.

So, yeah. It's a monster. And who cares who created it? It's alive, and so is the crowd. Put down your torches and dance."
-Doug Callahan

"We all share a common purpose and collectively believe in the power of music and its influence on the human race. Our individual experiences have lead us all down a similar path and so we will continue to grow as our music evolves."
