The Jealous Sound at Terminal 5 in 2009 (more by Kurt Christensen)

Emo vets The Jealous Sound have been doing a good amount of touring this year, following the release of their comeback album, A Gentle Reminder. The new album hasn't fully captured the spirit of their 2003 debut but it's a solid return that shows the band have aged well and it's been great to see them back and spending a lot of time on the road.

They'll spend even more time on the road this winter, opening for the much newer emo band Balance and Composure, who fit in better when they toured with Circa Survive. Daylight is also on the tour. It culminates in NYC at Bowery Ballroom on February 24. Tickets for that show are not on sale yet but check ticketmaster for updates.

A list of all dates, the tour flier, and a stream of The Jealous Sound's 2012 LP, A Gentle Reminder, below...
