The Jefferson is an indie rock band from Sydney, Australia, that, despite the negative connotations that might arise for the more snobbish connoisseurs of rock, specializes in creating commercial pop-rock, the likes of which one is apt to find playing at stadiums throughout the US. However, if one were to say the The Jefferson was trying to make it big by emulating the sound of more financially successful acts, one would dismiss the largely deconstructive elements of the band's music that not only posits commercial pop-rock as a viable art form, but forces its listeners to ask why it is that people react so favorably to a brand of music that has quite literally withstood the test of time where so many other genres have failed.
