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.
Jingle Punks is more than happy to let you know that ESPN Films‘ “The Marinovich Project” – a really special Documentary with a fully scored landscape solely from the Jingle Punks studio, will be premiering this Saturday, December 10 at 10p EST on ESPN. This comes from Film-makers (and friends) Andrew Stephan and John Dorsey as well as the great folks at ESPN Films. The score traces the nuances, heartbreak and triumph of Todd’s story with a palette that stretches from Neil Young influenced boozy SoCal rock on through to emotional atmospheric soundscapes and everything in between. Give it a watch – it’s excellent.

For those that missed the Jingle Punks Holiday Kickoff Party last Friday, December 2, at Rockwood Music Hall, you missed one helluva performance! The Jingle Punks Hipster Orchestra kicked off the night with an hour long set that featured tunes from both of their recently released albums. The friend and fans in attendance were so enamored with their performance of the Hipsters, that they basically begged them to play an encore before leaving . Both JP artists and clients were in the house ready to kick off the holiday season and the atmosphere was warm and festive. Those in attendance received Jingle Punks swag including silly bands, buttons, and t-shirts along with an exceptional performance. Below is a photo recap of the night (video coming soon!).
Below you will find a few pictures of the Pink Pastry Parlor and it’s owner and star of “Party at Tiffany’s,” Tiffany Young. Make sure you tune into OWN tonight for this interesting new show and keep an ear out for more Jingle Punks music on the Oprah Winfrey Network!
Just in the nick time, the Jingle PunksHipster Orchestra has released their latest video to get fans into the “Holiday” spirit!

The Hipsters are gearing up to play their second city this week with a performance tomorrow at Rockwood Music Hall in NYC (ticket info here) after several gigs earlier in the week in Chicago. This event will serve as Jingle Punks “Holiday” kick-off party and we would love to see you there. Check out the flyer for Friday’s party beneath the official video for “Holiday”!
