Milwaukee, WI trio, The Rashita Joneses aren’t willing to let guitar rock die in the hearts and minds of today’s youth, just yet. The young DIY rock-revivalists produced a staggering, five releases for their 2015 self-release debut year. Just as quick as they started, the young band has quickly created a home for the Midwest’s 90’s babies looking to let give at spring-loaded live shows. Their upcoming release “Wide Eyes / Alien Ocean” is an eardrum proasting take to tape with a clear anti-electronic bubble-gum-pop agenda. On loop, the songs play into each other for a nonsensical blast of hooky sled-rock, with obvious inspirations from the so-cal Burger craze. It’s like surf-rock without the beach or sun, translated w/ a bit of a harder edge but all the fluffy stuck-in-your-headness, that is the current garage-rock renaissance.

Snowed-in, the band has continued to pump out material, the first of which to be continuously released in 2016: a split single “Wide Eyes / Alien Ocean.” This batch of two was never meant to see the light of day. But these joke recordings, complimented with a little ‘Red-Green’ ingenuity, inevitably led to a trip to the local thrift store and soon some pretty butter songs they couldn’t toss to the wayside. The recordings feature the lo-fidelity wonderfuls of: 70’s and 80’s telephones, small speakers converted to pick-up sound rather than spew it, and plenty of cassette tape-saturation. The band rarely outsources work. What you are hearing is The Rashita Joneses‘ recording, mixing, mastering, artwork etc. The two new tracks capture the band’s young, pure un-adulterated fun. The songs will be available physically on limited-run semi-flexible polycarbonate lathe cuts. Which are technically 8″, so it’s one inch “more better” than your standard 7″.
