Something Corporate was an American rock band from Orange County, California, formed in 1998. Their last line-up included pianist and vocalist Andrew McMahon, guitarist Josh Partington, bassist Kevin Page and drummer Brian Ireland.
Following their formation, Something Corporate recorded demos that were eventually released as an independent, minor studio album entitled Ready... Break. Soon after, they were signed to MCA Records but were released under the Drive-Thru Records banner for their debut EP Audioboxer. Their first single, "If You C Jordan", was their most successful, peaking at number 29 on the Alternative Songs chart. Their first album released through the major label was Leaving Through the Window (2002) which premiered at Number 1/Hot Shot Debut on the Billboard Top Heatseekers chart on June 8, 2002 and eventually peaked at number 101 on the Billboard 200.
Something Corporate went on hiatus in 2004 and no longer had any recording contracts with their record labels. During the hiatus, McMahon found success in his side-project Jack's Mannequin. Something Corporate briefly reunited in October 2006 (at a Jack's Mannequin show) to play a short set. In December 2009, Something Corporate officially announced their reunion to tour in 2010 and released a greatest hits album. McMahon announced during an August 3, 2010 visit to Milwaukee that the band had collectively sold over 1 million total records in the band's ten years of existence.

A rendition of the song "Konstantine" written and performed by alternative rock band Something Corporate. I honestly just love this song. I recorded this song a few years ago while I was dating a girl I really liked (hence a few changed lyrics). I performed it a lot at my concerts before I took a break for a bit, though my love for this song is just as strong now as it was then. It will always remind me of those countless moonlit summer nights, under many shooting stars with cares a million miles away. Thanks for experiencing this song with me - it will always go down as one of the greats in the history of music. -Matt Jackson ~Konstantine~ I can't imagine all the people that you know and the places that you go When the lights are turned down low and I don't understand all the things...

Andrew McMahon (Something Corporate/Jack's Mannequin). First video interview from the band's first visit to San Francisco in 2005. Part 1.
I'm on fire
And the day is feeling hopeless
You'd see me burning but the burning's turning smokeless
Soon I won't feel at all
It's electric the neon heard inside your phone call
The letter's sadness and her madness it revolves
Bringing down the walls where you found her
Well, I'm willing to break myself
To shake this hell from everything I touch
I'm willing to bleed for days more reds and grays
So you don't hurt so much
And now I'm static
As your sky is turning purple and gray
I'm learning that the further that I crawl
The farther that I fall, is that ok?
And you're in pieces
As your world becomes a rainstorm
You've got no shelter I'm a thousand miles away
You'll survive the day
You say your leaving
You say your leaving
Well, I'm willing to break myself
To shake this hell from everything I touch
I'm willing to bleed for days more reds and grays
So you don't hurt so much
So you don't hurt so much
Never again will the fire be done
No never again your the only one
No never again but you're already gone.
I'm willing to break myself
I'm not afraid
I'm willing to break myself
I'm not afraid
I'm willing to break myself
I'm not afraid
Well, I'm willing to break myself
To shake this hell from everything I touch
I'm willing to bleed for days more reds and grays
So you don't hurt so much
So much
So much
So much
