Jubilee

Jubilee is an Indie rock band from Los Angeles, California, which formed in late 2007. The band consists of Aaron North (Nine Inch Nails, The Icarus Line) on vocals and guitar, Tony Bevilacqua (Spinnerette, The Distillers) on guitar and vocals, Jenni Tarma (Kylie Minogue, Har Mar Superstar) on bass, and Troy "Boy" Petrey (The Icarus Line, Willowbrook) on drums.

According to their press release, Jubilee's sound is "something like The Replacements, The Stone Roses, Neil Young, Blur, Jane's Addiction, Bob Dylan, Creedence Clearwater Revival, and The Verve, all sliced ‘n diced together quite nicely."^[1]

Jubilee has released two singles via North's Buddyhead Records. They released the “Rebel Hiss” single on January 21, 2008 on 7 inch Vinyl, CD, and a limited edition tour 7 inch vinyl.^[2] Their second single, "In With The Out Crowd", was released in Fall 2008 on 7 inch Vinyl, and CD.

On a recent post on Buddyhead, it was announced that Jubilee would distribute a digital version of their single for US$3.00US in MP3, WAV and FLAC formats. North also announced that individuals would be able to subscribe to the "2008 Jubilee Digital Music Service" for US $19.95, which would entitle the individual to Jubilee's entire output for 2008, tentatively being "the “Rebel Hiss” single, at least 2 more upcoming album singles also containing exclusive non-album tracks, the full-length debut album, exclusive live tracks, music videos, live videos, photos, lyrics, artwork, etc." and an "exclusive 7-inch single ONLY available to subscribers". It will also allow subscribers the chance to obtain "super limited pressings of Jubilee vinyl (including rare first pressings and even test presses)" and to access every release "before anybody else will". ^[3]

This release and distribution method closely follows and expands upon efforts made by Radiohead, Saul Williams, and the Nine Inch Nails on the release of their albums In Rainbows, The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of NiggyTardust! (Which Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails Produced), Ghosts I-IV, and The Slip respectively.
