Over a year ago HBO came to Jingle Punks asking for an authentic mariachi song for their new series “Funny or Die Presents,” a show so funny, so awesome that it cannot be aptly described in this one blog alone – but we’re sure gonna try!
Anyways… for this project Jingle Punks called in reinforcements – we enlisted the help of Barry Danielian (Tower of Power) and Ozzie Melendez (Marc Anthony) along with Jingle Jared on guitar and bass and came up with a track that’s so amazing we want to show it off to you. If you recall (and I’m sure you do!) our earlier blogs about recording the authentic Mexican band… it should be noted that they were initially brought onto the project but the client eventually opted for a different direction with Jared writing comical lyrics and Ozzie translating and singing them in Spanish. What was produced can only be summed up in a single word – magic. Check it out.

History Channel and Jingle Punks continue their love affair with a new show open for their series, Sliced. This makes it lucky number 3 for us – having already outfitted both American Pickers and Pawn Stars with the sweet sweet sounds of Jingle Punks music – and enjoy the clip below.
For this spot we want to give big ups to Angus Kahn who provided this blisteringly epic rock song. If you don’t know who Angus Kahn are please check out their Myspace page.

Our good friends at Brownstone Entertainment and Craigslist have teamed up to produce a series of webisodes called Craigslist TV which aims to follow actual Craigslist users on their quest to – well, do some Craigslisting… and enlisted our help in providing a little mood music.
We can’t tell you how excited we are to have this opportunity to partner with such a modern cultural icon as Craigslist and definitely want to thank our friends at Brownstone Entertainment for coming to us with this great project.
So without further adieu – please check it out below!

Yes… this is what Jared and Jon were screaming during their entire flight out west for the NAB Conference where they were on a multi-leg journey to promote Jingle Punks the only way they knew how… bringing out the Jingle Guy and shaking lots of hands and kissing babies.
Check out part 1 of their excellent west coast adventure and stay tuned for part 2 coming soon.
VEGAS!

Recently Jingle Punks was asked to make some music for Season 2 of MTV’s Bully Beatdown, one of the most insane shows on television. So our friend Clyde L hit us up and told us he needed some audio stings to help move the show along and also serve notice for people who just got their a** beatdown by a pro MMA fighter. Of course for this we turned to our favorite metal singer, Phil Costello, of Stanicide / Tragedy fame to jump in and help the cause. What ensued was utter mayhem. Yes, our ears are still ringing from the noise… and our stomachs still hurt from laughter. Please watch how we created these audio stings and enjoy.
