Last week I wrote about Florida's Jacuzzi Boys , a solid rock outfit coming our way for SXSW. Fortunately, we caught up with the trio before their trip to Austin, and now it's time to share their responses. Stoked to have all three dudes chip in their answers, so thanks to Jason B. for his hard work getting this together. And be sure to check out their Glazin LP on Hardly Art . ATH: [...]
It's almost impossible to believe that SXSW is already around the corner. Almost. Things get crazy busy around these parts with planning a party, interviewing bands, and mapping out some semblance of a schedule for the week. At times we all forget that this aint about getting wastey on free booze, but rather "about the music man". I hope you'll pardon my lame attempt at an introduction to this post and simply take note and listen to Hardly Art's finest Jaccuzi Boys . Follow the jump for more. It's hard to say what [...]
review by Suzi Pratt all photos by Marianne Spellman During the dreary Seattle winter chill, two Seattleites were lucky to escape to the other side of the continent for the second annual Bruise Cruise Festival , sailing from Miami to the Bahamas. The three-day escapade is hardly your retired grandmother's cruise, although there were plenty of those on board as well. Instead, Bruise Cruise is like summer camp for some five hundred tattooed, cigarette-smoking indie rockers and hipsters who devoured fruity drink concoctions and action-packed music sets all weekend long. Unlike other huge, multi-stage music fests, [...]
With only one show left in their "Paradise Lost" Tour, Brooklyn's Sleigh Bells stomped through Ft. Lauderdale's Revolution Saturday night with a fully-stocked bill that included Liturgy and Jacuzzi Boys . In support of their forthcoming sophomore release, Reign of Terror , the raucous duo attracted a vibrant, equally raucous crowd, who heated up the venue despite the chilly outside air. Prior to the headlining set, however, the seemingly metal-hungry fans had to "endure" Liturgy, an act that worked on paper yet tripped miserably in action. Sleigh Bells' fellow Brooklynites failed to [...]
After a week away, it was nice to be back in the studio. This week I played several folk-related tunes, a few garage-based ones, and a small handful of indie pop tracks. With the amount of indie-folk I've played of late, I'm thinking we're in store for another dreamy mix and maybe even a garage rock mix in the near future. Andi and I have been on a DIY kick of late and a recent project has been homemade laundry detergent. With the three ingredients displayed in the photo above, along [...]

Miami based Jacuzzi Boys' newest album, Glazin', was released Aug. 29 last year on Hardly Art. After forming the band in 2007 and accruing a handful of 45s, the group released the LP No Seasons on Florida's Dying (located in nearby Orlando, FL) in 2009. Fast forward to last year and we have Glazin' - their second full-length, and the first for Hardly Art. When it came to the album title, the band confirmed that there is no concrete definition for the word. Alcala made it up, and the band instantly knew what he meant by [...]
Their name may sound silly, but Jacuzzi Boys have quickly shifted the focus from their frivolous moniker to the liveliness in their music during the last couple of years. The Miami, Fla.,-based trio's 2009 debut "No Seasons" was a record bursting with '60s-leaning pop-punk tunes, and their accompanying boisterous shows have earned them fans such as Iggy Pop. Their sophomore record "Glazin'" (out now via Hardly Art) is yet another irresistible garage-rock album, even with their scuzzy soundscapes heavily doused in glam this time around. It's hard to deny that Gabriel Alcala, Diego Monasterios and Danny Gonzalez' have [...]

I waited till 2011 to finalize my albums list - all my lists - partially due to laziness, being busy, the holidays... but mainly because I'm not sure what the hurry is. I don't do this for the web traffic (clearly), so I gave myself a little more time to decide than usual. (And as long as this goes up before the Village Voice' s Pazz n' Jop, I don't feel delinquent.) So here's my list, the top five or so have been a lock for almost half a year, but the rest were in flux right till I [...]

Le blog Infrasons n'est que la partie émergée de notre activité : nous officions surtout comme agence de notation musicale, en distribuant les bons et les mauvais points aux artistes et en évaluant chaque année leur crédibilité sur les marchés financiers. Apôtres des politiques de rigueur, nous devons lutter inlassablement contre les concepts albums prétentieux, les instrumentations indigestes, les solos interminables et toutes les boursouflures qui écorchent nos tympans. Lorsque l'on se voit investir d'une telle mission, la sévérité doit s'imposer, y compris vis-à-vis des élèves doués mais par trop insouciants. Ainsi, [...]
(Hardly Art, 2011) Jacuzzi Boys know what we're talking about here: raspberry feelings, amiright? But I really just want to talk about the title track, "Glazin'," and that opening line: "sugar in my hair / melting everywhere in the sunshine," which brings me to my next point: if you're going to be outside, particularly in the summertime months--Jacuzzi Boy months to be sure--consider avoiding sugar in yr hair. And yeah, I get it, Crystal Light can change yr hair color. Just be careful, one of my friend's friends put strawberry Kool Aid in his hair and [...]
Glazin', Jacuzzi Boys Hardly Art, USA Rating: 54 by Andrew Casillas I have to admit: I did not like this record. It was a chore to sit through multiple times. Even when I kept delaying and delaying and delaying my review (although maybe one of those "delays" should be attributed to my day job), I couldn't work up the energy to think through an enthusiastic review. Admittedly, maybe this sort of scuzzy, power-punk-pop-rock wasn't in my wheelhouse. I was never much of a Gene [...]
