The Jealous Girlfriends

The Jealous Girlfriends are a Brooklyn based quartet that formed in 2004, made up of band members Josh Abbott, Alex Lipsen, Holly Miranda, and Mike Fadem. If you're have Showtime then you've probably heard their songs featured on the show ""The L Word". A dreamy and lush sound exudes through their songs, blending complex guitar work with layered vocals. The songs shift tones dramatically depending on who is carrying lead vocals, with Josh and Holly sharing duties.

The band defines their sound as "Elmo-Porn Yatch Rock", which comes across in their songs as a type of genre-crossing shoegazing rock that endears and sticks with you. Fans of Matt Pond PA and the Rosebuds should take note of this band.

You can find their first EP on CD Baby and their new full length via paypal. They have a new 7" coming out via these are not records which can be purchased through either their website or at their upcoming shows.
