The Jealous Sound was an American band based in Los Angeles that, as of August 2012, consists of vocalist and guitarist, Blair Shehan (formerly of Knapsack), guitarist Michael Richardson, bassist, Jeremy Tappero, and drummer, Bob Penn. In 2012, Richardson (formerly of the American three-piece rock band, The New Trust) replaced original member, Pedro Benito (formerly of Sunday's Best) on lead guitar. Benito has moved into film and television score composition. Categorized as an indie rock band, the Jealous Sound released its second and latest full-length album, A Gentle Reminder, on January 31, 2012.
As of December 2016, the band is signed to Rise Records, a label based in Portland, Oregon, United States (US), joining other bands such as The Bouncing Souls, Transit and Daytrader.
The band originally formed from multiple American, 1990s "indie" bands, with each member a former part of one of these groups. Shehan (Knapsack) led the band on vocals and guitar, with Benito (Sunday's Best) on lead guitar. They were joined by bassist, John McGinnis (Neither Trumpets Nor Drums), and Tony Palermo (Pulley) on drums—Adam Wade, of the then-recently disbanded Jawbox and Shudder to Think, later replaced Palermo on drums.
Shehan provided a summary in January 2013 interview:
Me and the drummer from Knapsack, my friend Colby [Mancasola], went to high school together ... We went to college together and when we got to college at UC-Davis, we formed Knapsack ... I hung out in the area after we graduated and ended up moving to L.A. Colby decided to take a full-time job with eMusic and [bassist] Sergie Loobkoff was splitting time with his band Samiam, which had kicked back into gear, so his time was divided. Colby wanted to move on and we did one last tour with At the Drive-In and that was that. In [Los Angeles|L.A.] [Los Angeles], I started moving forward with The Jealous Sound in 1999 and 2000.
