J minus is not your typical rock band. They don't party hard or wear tight pants, and share only two tattoos among them (on alternating weekends). Their sound defies direct comparison, aside from hints of radio-friendly rock reminiscent of Death Cab for Cutie, The Samples, and Toad the Wet Sprocket. They are the alternative to "alternative" at a time when indie rock is the status quo. Look for the third full-length album Devil Music in mid-2010. If you find them on stage…the stars might align and you may be the first in years to witness the elusive, mysterious sound of J minus.
