When Brent Rhodes was an adolescent libido with legs, he would sneak out of his bedroom, push his mom's vehicle into the middle of the street, start it up and check out the nightspots. Brent's mom used to call it "jumping the window". The name stuck.

CD Release and Tour Dates will be announced soon.

The internet will swallow the music industry. Once again, it will become what the people want to hear, not how much money you need to line the program director's pockets.

Yes.

Jumping Windows was founded by Brent Rhodes from Houma, Louisiana. Brent had been involved in the south Louisiana music scene since he was 15 years old. In the aftermath of the break-up of his previous band, in which he was a guitarist/singer, Brent amassed an incredible collection of unique songs. Brent realized that each song that was written were small parts of a larger story. Enamored with the idea of creating a concept album, Brent began recording the songs at Palm Street Studios in Houma. He tapped local talent to contribute to the album, including the venerable Nicky Rhodes, who engineered, mixed and mastered the album and the incredible drummers Troy Percle and Robbie Cournoyer. Armed with his arsenal, Brent recorded an album that is truly amazing. The band will begin touring in January of 2006.

Brent's musical influences range from early 70's power pop like Badfinger, ELO, Big Star, as well as newer acts such as Weezer, Foo Fighters, Enuff Z'nuff, Butch Walker and Jellyfish.
