Sooo. [Rusconi], one of our favorite Nextbop bands, just released a new album. I'm sure you've heard of them before given that you're obviously an avid Nextbop reader. Here's what I wrote on the band for the [Jazz Now] series.

"These guys are the future of jazz. They could be huge, like The Bad Plus and e.s.t. huge. They're young. They have style. They even have a crazy music video. And they happen to make incredible music. It's a fresh new take on power jazz, one which doesn't rely on covers of rock bands or on extraordinarily high intensity. Instead, Rusconi has really catchy melodies and an amazing sense for groove. When you listen to its music, you feel like shaking your head to the beat, and there's a good chance that you won't be able to stop smiling. Very addictive stuff: discover at your own risk."

The band just came out with a new album of Sonic Youth covers or Sonic Youth inspired originals, entitle It's a Sonic Life. Today, we decided to share with you a couple videos about the project. First of all, we got the Nextbop YouTube Mash-up for you to sample the album. But we also have one Making Of video as well a a really cool short film which was made for the release of the album. Check it out!

Peace.
