Something Corporate (also known as SoCo) is an American rock band from Laguna Niguel, Orange County, California, formed in 1998.

Their currently active line-up includes vocalist and pianist Andrew McMahon, guitarists Josh Partington and William Tell, bassist Kevin Page and drummer Brian Ireland.

Following their formation, Something Corporate recorded demos that were eventually released as an independent, studio album entitled Ready...

On September 9, 2022 the band reunited to play a surprise show for McMahon’s 40th birthday at House of Blues in Anaheim, California.

The band re-united its core line-up to play When We Were Young Festival in 2023 (and a headlining show at House of Blues Las Vegas), hosted a New Years Eve show in Anaheim, CA on December 30 and 31, 2023, and will be touring the Summer of 2024 as well as performing on the Andrew McMahon's Holiday from Real Cruise in November of 2024.

Andrew McMahon and Brian Ireland had a class together at Dana Hills High School, during which the pair often talked about music.

Ireland received a drum set for Christmas, and the pair subsequently started a band[1] with bassist Kevin "Clutch" Page.

McMahon's parents were supportive of his music, but suggested doing college applications if the band didn't work out within a year.

[4] During this time, the group shared an apartment in Dana Point, where McMahon and Hernandez wrote a number of the band's early material.

[5] Throughout high school the band tried to play at local venue the Coach House, which was owned by Gary Folgner.

[6] On March 27, 2001, Something Corporate announced an official change to the band's lineup; Hernandez left to pursue college and was replaced by William Tell.

McMahon said "I think for all of us it just got to the point where we were like 'Let's just go be our own people for a minute'-- not out of a desire to leave the band or break up Something Corporate-- quite the opposite.

"[10] In January and February 2005, the band toured across the U.S. alongside Straylight Run, Hidden in Plain View, The Academy Is...,[11] and Armor for Sleep.

[12] In April, 2005 the band played an outdoor concert at Phi Sigma Kappa fraternity at Indiana University as part of Little 500 festivities.

[14] Partington also formed the band Firescape, who released an EP, Rearden's Conscience, and studio album, Dancehall Apocolypse.

The band returned to the studio to re-record two old songs which originally appeared on their unreleased "Galaxy Sessions" album: "Letters to Noelle" and "Wait".

[27] On November 11, 2016 at the Seventh Annual Dear Jack Benefit, McMahon, Page, Ireland, Partington and Tell reunited to perform “Konstantine” and “Hurricane” at The Observatory in Santa Ana, California.

As part of the show, a surprise Something Corporate reunion was staged, where McMahon, Kevin Page, Brian Ireland, Josh Partington, and William Tell played a 5-song set.

[28] Something Corporate performed at the 2023 When We Were Young Festival in Las Vegas[29] with a headlining show at the House of Blues the night before.
