Something Corporate and Kevin Devine

Something Corporate, from Orange County, gained fame in the early 2000s with their piano-driven alt-rock. Known for hits like "Audioboxer," they featured Andrew McMahon, who later formed Jack's Mannequin. Their debut album, "Leaving Through the Window," released in 2002, was a crossover success. They toured with Yellowcard and released a concert DVD. After a hiatus, McMahon battled leukemia and recovered, returning to focus on Jack's Mannequin, whose debut made the Billboard Top 40. The band briefly reunited for a tour in 2010.

Brooklyn-born Kevin Devine emerged from New York's indie rock and emo scene with Miracle of 86 before launching a solo career. Known for introspective songs about love, life, and politics, his popular albums include "Make the Clocks Move" and "Brother's Blood." He collaborated with Manchester Orchestra to form Bad Books, releasing three albums. His work blends uptempo rock with contemplative tracks, collaborating with artists like Jesse Lacey and Cymbals Eat Guitars. Devine used crowdfunding for projects, achieving success with solo ventures and collaborative efforts.
