New alternative music from Seattle is here. Astral Jukebox is about feeling. It’s about being in the moment. It is a summer festival. It’s a favorite corner bar. It is rock with that distinctive Seattle edge that makes you turn up the volume. With Astral Jukebox, your neighbors will be listening to great music, whether they want to or not. Get ready to ride, rock, and roll. Seattle summer shows will start soon. We will announce tour dates and Seattle block party dates here as soon as they are available. We have been hard at work on our first alternative album at London Bridge Studios which releases in June, 2022. Now, it is time to get out there and rejoin the post-pandemic world in 2022 with new rock. You can keep up with us on Instagram directly from the website. Check out exclusive tracks and backstage photos in our exclusive Astral Jukebox blog, Poems, Thoughts, and Collected Mumblings.
Album Release June, 2022
It’s finally here! Check out our new album, A Beautiful Catastrophe, as well as some of the fun we had at London Bridge Studios. We leveraged the best of the Seattle sound with London Bridge Studios to stay true to alternative music while making it our own.
