Yesterday the Jingle Punks‘ New York office got together to exchange gifts as part of their offices “Secret Santa” gifting before heading to the theater to check out “The Muppets”. As you can see from the photo gallery below, the whole team had a great time and were completely into the holiday spirit. From our family to yours we wish you all Happy Holidays!
Jingle Punks artist Careless was recently featured in ASCAP‘s “We Create Music Blog” under a post titled “A Stocking’s Worth of New ASCAP Holiday Music“. Their heavy metal cover of the 150 year old caroling song “What Child Is This” garned high praise and you can check out both the post and the video below. Happy holidays!
Our Jingle Punks Artist Community is in the Holiday spirit and have some new music to prove it! We’ve recently received music from Emily Zuzik who’s version of “Deck the Halls” (produced by Charles Newman of MotherWest) was licensed by TLC for their holiday promos and is on a holiday compilation called “Feliz Christmas” that is available on iTunes.
We also received a music video from The Great White Caps. All they want for Christmas is a LOT of “Holiday spirits” and a party that doesn’t end!
And last but not least, Tru Statement Ent. shows us what happens when “Santa Goes Cray“! We hope you enjoy and we wish you all Happy Holidays!

The Independent Film Project recently had a blog post titled “Music Licensing Cliff Notes for Indie Filmmakers: Understanding the Basics” which mentioned Jingle Punks under the “Affordable Qualtiy Music sources” section. The post, which was written by board member Dolly Turner, touches on a wide variety of topics including budgeting, song ownership, and necessary clearances. It’s a great read and very informative.
Jingle Punks has been pushing further and further into the film world through recent projects like Morgan Spurlock‘s “Comic-Con Episode IV: A Fans Hope” and Michael Dowse‘s “Goon“. We appreciate getting this exposure to IFP’s network and look forward to working more extensively in both the indie and feature film spaces. Be sure to check out the IFP post HERE and contact us if you’re looking for music for your next film!

Jingle Punks has built a reputation for having some of the BEST pre-cleared indie music available and that reputation was built, in part, thanks to the success of our incredible Artist Community! We don’t see that changing any time soon and we’ve got more proof as to why we’re the best and it comes from Cover Me Blog’s “Best Cover EPs of 2011″ list. The blog’s annual list features two Jingle Punks artists, Bird Call and Alyson Greenfield, who ranked at #11 and #2 respectively. Both of their EP’s received high praise (which you can read below) and we’re incredibly happy for their success! Check out the article HERE and be sure to pick up both Alyson and Bird Call’s projects on either Amazon or iTunes.
