"Jonezetta's debut album, "Popularity", is headed for just that. With exquisite vocals and incredibly catchy tunes, it'll be a wonder if they don't make some splash in the music industry. Witty lyrics and beats that'll have you wiggling your torso in no time, will surely make Jonezetta a band with longevity.



In a sound that is all to itself, "Populartity"'s sound is quite hard to describe. Counter-tempos, syncopated rythms, fun guitars and even tambourines riddle this fantastic production to produce what I can only describe as "Fun Rock." (Personally, I found it great for driving and for background music in a pool party I had recently. Everyone kept bobbing their heads to the beats.) Lyrically, Jonezetta's a home run as well. Their modern social critique is exceptional and their talent is entirely evident.



The only "flaw" (if that) is that this album contains a few songs that sound a little similar. But since they don't ALL sound the same, the album still draws you back into it and it's originality still pours out in waves.



In short, this is an album that no one should deny themselves. If you're looking for something fresh, you've no need to look further. Enjoy!"
Jonezetta arrives, bells and all...

"Popularity is a very catchy and accessible album, yet it successfully penetrates the shallowness brought on by other such genres/bands/albums. On the initial listen, everyone from the musically apathetic to the snobbiest of indie snobs is bound to catch themselves subconsciously tapping a foot or finger to the playful beats and delicious melodies of Jonezetta. But don't worry, there are many layers yet to be discovered on almost every song.

With a spread of influences like U2, The Cure, Jimmy Eat World, and The Killers, Jonezetta seems to learn from the best while molding a sound that is all their own. Their first single, "Get Ready (Hot Machete)", along with "Welcome Home" and "Backstabber", are infectious, dynamic forces to be reckoned with, while songs like "Communicate" and "Burn It Down!" maintain that same energy while allowing more heartfelt emotion to enter. There are no filler songs on this one, folks. Popularity will reign my CD player for a while. An excellent buy.

Absolutely stunning debut

"I'm completely blown away by the depth & maturity that this young band displays on their debut release. Very hard to believe that these guys haven't been through several records prior to arriving here. I can't stop listening to this and if this doesn't catch on, I'm not sure what will! This is one of those finds that is love on first listen and it doesn't stop there. A++++! Do yourself a favor and buy this record!"
