Biography
The sophomore effort. It's a crossroad in the lifespan of nearly every band and – let's be honest – not always the kindest fork in the road. The sophomore effort is what separates artists from one-hit wonders, careers from brief flirtations with the music industry, and often times, men from boys. For SoCal introspective rock band Something Corporate, it just so happens to be all three.

But the similarities between Something Corporate and the sophomore successes of their peers end there. It's said that you have a lifetime to write your first record and a mere six months to scribble out your second – usually on the road. As a result, many sophomore efforts involve a bevy of songs complaining about becoming the very thing the artist always wanted to be: A rock star on the road, missing home, their girlfriends, their favorite Laz-Z-Boy chairs. Boring.

On North, the band's follow-up to their 2002 Drive-Thru/MCA Records debut, Leaving Through the Window – a 250,000 seller based largely on relentless touring and word of mouth – Something Corporate bucks that idea in favor of a more cerebral concept: Simply being away.

"It has a lot to do with the effect of being away from people and situations in life that you've never been away from and how being that far away can make you isolate yourself further," explains singer/songwriter Andrew McMahon. "As a result, it's a much more serious and moodier record."
