Jubilee is an Indie rock band from Los Angeles, California, which formed in 2007. The band consists of Aaron North (Nine Inch Nails, The Icarus Line) on guitar and vocals, Michael Shuman (Queens of the Stone Age, Wires On Fire) on bass and vocals, Jeff Lynn (Wires On Fire) on guitar, and Troy "Boy" Petrey (The Icarus Line, Willowbrook) on drums.

According to their press release written by Travis Keller, Jubilee's sound is "something like The Replacements, The Stone Roses, Neil Young, Blur, Jane's Addiction, Bob Dylan, Creedence Clearwater Revival, and The Verve, all sliced ‘n diced together quite nicely."
