Jingle Punks’ video blog is back with it’s fifth episode of 2011 and this one finds JP getting a visit from our good friend Phil Costello of the band Diamondsnake. Phil is no stranger to JP and has appeared in some previous video blogs with Jingle Jared. This one finds him doing some vocal work (he has an incredibly unique voice) for an upcoming film project Jingle Punks is working on. As always, there’s some hilarious moments and some great music. Check it out below!

Jingle Punks recently got together with Corey Maass, founder of the Noteworking Meetup, Alex Holz, VP of Artist and Community Relations at RightsFlow, and Tatiana Moroz, studio manager at Premier Studios, to put on an event at the legendary Times Square recording space on July, 27, 2011.  The turnout was great and included both industry professionals and aspiring musicians.  Jingle Punks and RightsFlow were co-sponsors of the event and representatives from each company, including our own Artist Community Manager, EJ Dortch, spoke about what it is that their company does and how it benefits indie musicians.   The drinks were also flowing, thanks to our liquor sponsor TyKu, and helped keep the atmosphere at the event fun and festive.   Check out the video recap below and we hope to see you at the next one!
