2005–2025years

Jack's Mannequin started in Orange County in 2004 as a solo project for Andrew McMahon, then the frontman of Something Corporate. What came out, on Maverick in August 2005, was Everything in Transit: sun-bleached pop-rock with a lump in its throat. "Dark Blue" builds from a moody ballad into a full-band rush, and "The Mixed Tape" bounces along on a chorus made for rolling down the windows.

The Glass Passenger followed in 2008 on Sire, with "The Resolution" pushing the guitars harder, and People and Things arrived in 2011.

Soon after that, McMahon retired the name to put out music under his own, but the band has not stayed buried: in 2015 he brought Jack's Mannequin back for a tenth-anniversary tour of Everything in Transit, and it reunited again for shows in 2024 and 2025.
