The Jealous Type

Hailing from the tiny-yet-tough city of Ypsilanti, Michigan, The Jealous Type have been honing their unique sound since 1998 - and that sound is all about intensity.



The Jealous Type is an amalgam of contrasts: lush, percussive undercurrents fuled by Dave's bass lines and Steve's drums, support contrasting chords and melodies from Steve's guitar. Over-all, the swirling triaphony is counterpointed by Damon's sonic assaults.



The group pulls from a wide range of influences, from Black Sabbath and Pink Floyd to the Mars Volta and Radiohead. Damon's deft use of analog and digital tech mingles stereo guitar effects, computer samples and keyboards. These are then combined with a Kaoss pad and live vocal sampling.



The Jealous Type are anything but boring - seeing them live is an intense experience. The band never speaks: bathed in red light, wreathed in smoke and strobing drums the crowd can't keep from sinking into the deep, hypnotic stream.



Their unique sound appeals to a diverse cross section of people. Fans of Punk, Alternative, Indie and Emo music find what they are looking for and love the music.



The Jealous Type is currently recording their new material for an upcoming full length release and spreading their sound througout the midwest.
