The Extraordinaires are a five piece American indie rock band hailing from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Originally formed by Jay Purdy and Matt Gibson in 2004,[1] the group, which releases its albums in books bound in Masonite,[2] is known for its use of storytelling within songs.[3]

Their latest album, Electric and Benevolent (released in June 2009), is self described as “...almost a biography of a turn-of-the-century inventor genius...”.[4]
