Jingle Punks electronic artist Sleetwalker has teamed up with fellow electronic artist, adoptahighway, for a brand new EP called “Terrorvision“. The EP was released December 26, 2011 through Ill Pill Records and for those into vinyl, has a split 12″ due out this month. If the album itself is as impressive as Fumi Mini Nakamura cover art (above) these guys have nothing to worry about.

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.
