If a band had 4 different drummers on their latest album, you’d normally assume that these guys didn’t know what they’re doing. In the case of Jubilee [Official Site, Myspace], you’d be almost completely off-base, mostly because two of the major contributors to the recordings sessions were Trent Reznor and one Maynard James Keenan.

As their manager put it: “You can catch these guys live at a dump near you (if you live in the land of cod and crumpets)” as we speak, so don’t hesitate to check them out if you’re on the other side of “the pond”.

“The march toward Jubilee’s first album began in January with the release of the “Rebel Hiss” single and a tour of Europe. It continued in August and September with the release of another single from the LA based band, “In With The Out Crowd,” and a second tour of Europe. Each single contains three exclusive B-sides unavailable on any other release, including their upcoming album. These are available as immediate digital downloads direct from the band at http://Jubilee.la.

The derelicts responsible for all of this noise are Aaron North on vocals and guitar (Nine Inch Nails, Buddyhead, The Icarus Line), Michael Shuman on vocals and bass (Queens of the Stone Age, Wires On Fire), Jeff Lynn on guitar and organ (Wires On Fire), and Troy Petrey on drums (The Icarus Line).

The guest drummers on this latest release (the band chose to record all of their songs with different “skin-beaticians”) include: Julian Gross (Liars), Nick Jago (Black Rebel Motorcycle Club), Trent Reznor on programmed drums (Nine Inch Nails), Maynard James Keenan (The band made an exception to the rule on this one. Keenan didn’t play drums, but sang on “I Don’t Have An Excuse, I Just Need A Little Help”)

After concluding the tour, the band will mix and master their first full-length album, which will include even more guests on the drum-stool, such as:

Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters), Joey Castillo (Queens of the Stone Age), Carla Azar (Autolux), Josh Freese (Devo, A Perfect Circle, Nine Inch Nails), Kevin Haskins (Bauhaus, Love & Rockets, Tones On Tail), Josh Homme (Queens of the Stone Age, Eagles of Death Metal), Taylor Hawkins (Foo Fighters).
