Something Corporate and The Criticals

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.
