Mega hot Twilight star Robert Pattinson managed to avoid a frenzy for once. On Monday night the actor, who's usually swarmed by fang loving fans, went to Webster Hall with a pack of guys to check out the band JUMP INTO THE GOSPEL. He was totally normal and just hanging out wearing a baseball cap. Nobody noticed him or made a fuss at all. - Page Six
Gabe Saporta of Cobra Starship:
My new favourite band is called Jump Into The Gospel. They sound like early 90s post punk indie noise with great melodies. Apparently the dude from Twilight was at one of their shows and it was mentioned in Page Six so now all these hot babes are showing up at their shows. But just because they're cute and they've got babes at their shows it doesn't mean they don't shred. Download Flagship at www.jumpintothegospel.com for free - Rock Sound

Bio
Jump Into The Gospel is the newly formed five piece that has been stomping through NYC the past six months, converting non-believers along the way.
The question always thrown at bands is "what do you sound like" and often you'll get a list of artists spat back at you. Jump Into The Gospel is not one of those bands.
When we ask our fans their thoughts, they have a hard time comparing us to other bands too. Best term we have come up with to describe our sound is "AGGRESSIVE POP".
There is a 90's indie rock element to the music akin to the Pixies if we had to list another band. But there are also electronic parts to our music, that will make you move.
Louis Epstein (songwriter/vocals/guitar) and drummer Chris Stein worked together previously on a recording project while friend Ben Vescovi (songwriter/vocals/guitar) was performing both in the States and abroad. The three linked up and recruited bassist Lakis Emanuel Pavlou and finally Erik Tonnesen on keyboard.
While they each individually moonlighted in other bands (some still going), their combined songwriting style has been likened to “The Pixies if Kim Deal had boy parts and was David Byrne”. The boys are currently writing and recording more songs and can still be found on stage for special one offs. In the meantime, you can download their 4-song demo for free at jumpintothegospel.com. so have no fear of hellfire, demons, or the Great Satan, salvation is at hand!
