Over the holidays, Jingle Punks did music for a new History Channel show called Madhouse. We were asked to make a new master of “One Piece at a Time” by Johnny Cash and because we were all on vacation when the request came in we used several studios, locations and artists to make this happen.
Here is a breakdown of how the process for this worked.
Step 1: I produced the basic track for the network to approve. For this I used my portable logic studio using Logic and the Apogee One. During this round I played all the instruments and put in temp vocals.
Step 2: Revisions to the instrumentation and vocals were requested and the track tempo was adjusted to fit the picture.
Step 3: Reach out to one of our Jingle Punks Artists to step in as vocals on this track.
When all was said and done the final track production was as follows. I played acoustic and bass guitar and drums, Matt Chambless played electric guitar, Jeff Peters played the washboard and James Mason was the star of this on vocals.
Below is a few selections from our library that were used in the CBS People’s Choice Awards. The show was hosted by Queen Latifah and featured a whos who of Hollywoods top talent. We were honored to be part of this program and look forward to continue being utilized for awards shows and live events.
Jingle Punks helps NBC’s hit Chuck prepare for his upcoming season.
This promo contains a sneak preview at the new season of the hit show. This promo features Blackledge Records artist Tim Brantley and his song “I can’t make you want me.”
Watch the promo and also check out Tim’s website where you can hear all his music and find out where to see him live in the next couple months. We expect some big things from him and his Chuck promo is just one of his many really cool accomplishments.
One of our favorite new shows is Bully Beatdown on MTV. It helps that this is a show that:
A- We do music for
B- Involves Bully’s getting their asses whooped by MMA fighters for cash and cheap laughs
C- Is bringing back the Rawk to MTV
And one of our favorite bands of the moment is Angus Kahn. These guys are rude, loud and rock really really hard. So it’s no surprise that Bully Beatdown is featuring their debut single “Big Balls” in this Thursday’s episode during the MMA fighter intro.

Please tune in and watch the madness. Help spread the word anyway you can. This show is a must watch and this band is going to be HUGE! Take it all in and enjoy!
A lot of people have been asking us for more video updates because our first ones were watched by a whopping 98 people….c’mon you gotta re-tweet this if you want us to take the time to make some videos.
Anyways, if a picture is worth 1000 words than this video is worth at least 10,000 words. So on that note. No more words. Just click to watch.
Jingle Punks has a deal in place with the History Channel and as part of this deal we get to put some rocking tunes behind some really cool content. This promo is a tie in with a show called Gangland which is frightening show (it literally makes me pee when I watch it)…so I guess this ties in nicely with the new Brad Pitt film called Inglorious Basterds which also looks pretty disturbing, and was directed by none other than Quentin Tarrantino. This film has been in the works for a while and the buzz around it is huge. We are happy to have been part of this promo.
This promo features one of Jingle Punks favorite sons “Cortez the Killer”. These guys are making some major waves these days so I suggest you check em out before you they get too huge to personally befriend you on Facebook.
Jingle Punks should feel proud today. We were lucky enough to have our music in this season of Real Housewives of Atlanta. Ethan, Dan and I went to MPE to watch the first episode with the folks who created the show. The party was pretty fun, we drank some champagne and got laughed at because our new business cards have um…our pics on em… which some people found creepy and other folks found hilarious. Either way it was a great ice breaker and we met some really cool folks. Check out some of the snaps from this night.
Having some civilized drinks with the EP of Real Housewives of Atlanta
We took it to the Jane street hotel for some post housewives nightcaps.
After jingle schmingling for a few hours we watched the first episode which was amazing. Ep #1 ended with a classic scene about how customer service these days is a dying trend. We hope we never have a scene like this in our offices and we learned a great lesson by watching how not to run a company.
Our deal with Bravo was announced in todays Billboard Magazine in the business section section. Here is a link to the article which explains all the juicy details. This deal coincides with Jingle Punks being part of this season of Real Housewives of Atlanta which begins airing next week. We are very excited to be part of this show and the Bravo brand and feel like this will create some amazing opportunities for our artists to get placed in some of the most talked about programming on TV today.
Yes. It’s an age old question. What would you do for a Klondike Bar? Jingle Punks digs deep and tries to answer this question in a series of new spots for Klondike which we have heard are airing on Comedy Central in conjunction with Michael Ian Black and Michael Showalter’s new series. You can check out the first of 4 here.
Jingle Punks provides the music for this series of Klondike ads hosted by Michael Ian Black.
Sometimes Jingle Punks gets in the press for one reason or another. In this case we were interviewed for Velvet Rope.com which is a web site dedicated to the behind the scenes action of the music industry. For one reason or another they seemed to know a lot about my shady past playing in rock bands and being featured in really strange music videos. This interview is a must read if you really want to learn more about the Yin and Yang of Jingle Punks founders…myself and Jingle Dan. Read on and enjoy!
