MTV Buzzworthy Blog › Jet Lag Gemini

Christopher Browder is a dude from Louisville, Kentucky. He's a fan of LOST, quesadillas, and George Bush (with a mustache). He plays too much Wii and drinks too much Diet Coke. Christopher Browder is also Mansions, a one-man emotional rollercoaster (a la Bright Eyes) who sounds a lot like early Death Cab For Cutie. If the photo on Browder's purevolume profile is any indication -- he spends a lot of time being overwhelmed by the feelings he sings about. That bodes well for the music, because you can tell he means every word.

Mansions' debut album drops March 3 on Doghouse Records, home of Jet Lag Gemini, Army Of Me and The Honorary Title, and original signer of The Get Up Kids, Say Anything and All-American Rejects. Not too shabby, right? If you can't wait until March, and you happen to be lucky enough to live in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, you can catch Browder with buddies standing in on bass and drums at The Werehouse February 6. Otherwise, listen to Mansions, and get ready for a major arrival!

If you've never heard of punk powerhouse Jet Lag Gemini, it's time to get with the program. Why should you care about the New Jersey foursome? For starters, they've played with HelloGoodbye, Halifax and Socratic, toured with the All-American Rejects, and are besters with the boys from Hit the Lights and Every Avenue.

But you don't have to take our word for it. Get to know JLG in this exclusive sit-down with the band, and find out everything about from their favorite Vitamin Water flavor (we think it's called "Brown Stew" -- ew!), to their propensity for showering with their Nikes on. Plus, find out the semi-revealing story behind the Jersey boys' name -- and learn why Canadians (literally) make them sick.

+ Jet Lag Gemini's new eyebrow-singeing video, "Fit To Be Tied," isn't ready just yet, so until then, check out "Run This City," off their album Fire The Cannons.
