Band/Singer

New York City's Jack Antonoff is a busy man. While on tour with a majorly successful band, the guitarist began working on a secret side project of his own, which eventually evolved into Bleachers, a pop rock incarnate with electronic twists and anthemic hooks. Although his work became hugely popular with fun., the group for which he played lead guitar, Antonoff eventually felt he needed to explore another musical outlet. Described in the musical project's nascent stages as Antonoff's "psychotic alter-ego," Bleachers has since carved out an impressive audience of its own.

Breakthrough

Antonoff released the single "I Wanna Get Better" in February, which caught the ear of SPIN, Billboard, and most notably, Rolling Stone, which called it one of the "50 Best Songs of 2014."
