Crystal Jukebox

About Me

Crystal Jukebox was founded in Austin, TX on a seemingly ordinary day...It was a calm before the storm. Taylor Acee & Jason Simoneaux collaborated for a year prior to releasing their first self-titled EP in December, 2006. After testing the waters in the live scene, the two quickly realized they were the eye of the storm that was peacefully fomenting a violent maelstrom of sound for the next musical generation. Now, Crystal Jukebox is back in the studio producing a full length album. This time at a brand new high-def studio with better equipment and expert sound engineering. Taylor and Jason estimate completion around early 2009. Lookout and Hang on!You can Purchase the EP at the following websites:www.waterloorecords.com, www.cdbaby.com, www.buy.com, www.itunes.com and www.cd.connections.com..
