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.

Here’s it is:

Drawing from the likes of Feist, Broken Social Scene, and Iron & Wine, Sarah Aument is a folk singer-songwriter whose work is powerfully moving, raw with sincerity, and beautifully straight-forward. Emotions easily shine through Aument’s sparse and tender songs as her heart-felt narratives quickly grow from soft-spoken, introspective musings into loud, robust rock frenzies.

Now check out the video below. Enjoy!

Today, Thursday September 22, Jingle Punks CEO and co-founder, Jingle Jared, will be speaking at the SoHo Apple Store.  His topic today is “Creating and Selling Music with Jingle Punks” and will begin at 6pm EST. This is a great opportunity for any artists in the greater New York City are to meet Jingle Jared while also learning how to make and sell your original commercial music. We look forward to seeing you there!

Recently, while in LA for the opening of Jingle Punks’ West Coast office, Jingle Jared sat down with Jim Hill of Guitar World magazine to discuss all things Jingle Punks.  The resulting interview was released today and covers a variety of topics including Jared’s recent ASCAP Award for the theme to Pawn Stars.  It’s certainly a great read and you can check it out HERE.

A special thanks Guitar World and Jim Hill
