Someone told me that Something Corporate was the cross product of Ben Folds Five and Blink 182. After listening to them, I can't say that I'm inclined to agree, but they are a damn good form of piano-powered (punk?) rock.

To begin, I suggest downloading most of Audioboxer, starting with Punk Rock Princess and iF yoU C Jordan. The quality of Leaving Through the Window is more 'finished' than that of Audioboxer, but some of the tracks tend to drag. Drunk Girl is always fun to listen to, and I'm partial to I Want to Save You and I Woke Up in a Car. Enjoy!
