New El Bosso meets the Skadiolas Video

Hey,

there is a new trashy EBMTS video online, that we shot spontaneously on our VIP bus trip to the Sunny Bastards Label Festival in early 2012. So go to the fridge, grab a beer and try to smile like Bosso :)

Review Highlights about the Jaya The Cat album!

(...) mischen mit herrlicher Unbekümmertheit Reggae und Dub mit Rock und Punk-Elementen, wobei stets hochprozentige Party-Vibes mitschwingen. (...) Das Album des Sommers!

(Rock Hard, 9,5 von 10 Punkten)

"JAYA THE CAT sind so sehr oder so wenig eintönig wie der Besuch in der Stammkneipe: irgendwie schon, aber insgeheim weiß man, dass einen jede Veränderung befremden würde. Das liegt wohl daran, dass ihre Songs nicht mehr sein wollen und können, als (...) Kampf- und Trinkerlieder (...)"

(Ox, 8 von 10 Punkten und CD-Beilage)

"Auf ihrem vierten Album bewegt sich die Band auch auf Reggae und Soul zu."

(Visions)

"Jaya The Cat machen alle glücklich (...) Besinnen auf die Vergangenheit mit dem Wissen, dass die Musikgeschichte nicht bei The Clash oder Sublime angefangen hat, macht diese Band so stark."

(Westzeit, 5 von 6 Punkten)

"Es ist ein echter Genuss. Eine hübsche Mischung aus Ska, Reggae und Punkrock wird mit psychedelischen Elementen vernebelt.(...) Dass die Songs in verschiedenen Hotelzimmern quer durch Europa entstanden sind, spürt man."

(Slam)

"Mittlerweile leben Jaya The Cat in Amsterdam, was bei ihrem Ganja-beeinflussten Mix aus Reggae, Dancehall, Punk-Rock, Ska und karibischem Flair total Sinn ergibt. Was jetzt nach Batikweste und Dreadlocks klingt, ist allerdings absolut empfehlenswert: super Sommermusik."

(Guitar)

"Wieder ist (...) ein süffisant-schwitziger Mix aus Reggae und Ska mit Punkrock-Tupfern gelungen."

(Access, 4 von 5 Punkten)

"(...) an Abwechselung nicht zu übertreffen. (...) Das Album ist ein Lichtblick im Jahre 2012 und spielt ganz weit oben mit."

(Dynamite, Highlight-Review)

"Die Vielfalt der Band wird schnell klar, wenn der zweite Track "Late Night Sonic Insurrection" mit seinem karibischen Flair die Strandpromenade entlang flaniert."

(Plastic Bomb)

"Ihr neues Album warten mit großen Melodien auf und ist immer tanzbar - genau das richtige für den Sommer also."

(Triggerfish.de)

""The New International Sound Of Hedonism" birgt exakt, was der Titel verspricht, nämlich ein unbeschwert aufheiterndes Sommeralbum."

(Laut.de, 4 von 5 Punkten)

"JAYA THE CAT sollten zukünftig den Wetterbericht bestimmen und moderieren, dann reichen Shorts und Zahnbürste für 320 der Tage im Jahr."

(Allschools.de)

"(...) eine tolle eigenständige Mischung aus Ska, Reggae, Soul und Punkrock. Zu recht gelten JAYA THE CAT seit ihrer Gründung 2001 zur Speerspitze in diesem Metier."

(In-Your-Face.de)

"Auf insgesamt 14 Stücken plus einem kurzen Outro verbreitet die Band gute Laune und weiß, wie sie es anstellt, einen mitzureißen. (...) The New International Sound Of Hedonism ist ein Fest (...) und es wäre verwunderlich, wenn es nicht gewaltig einschlägt."

(Alternativmusik.de)

"Genau diese aufmunternde Sorte von Musik ist es, für die Mann und Frau Jaya The Cat schon früher liebten."

(CDStarts.de)

"(...) es ist echt ein Vergnügen, die 14 Songs durchzuhören. Da kann das Wetter dann draußen ruhig Scheiße sein - egal!"

(Punkrockers-Radio.de)

"(...) absolut gelungen und Songs wie "Here Comes The Drums", "Thessaloniki", "Fake Carreras" und "This Could All Go So Horribly Wrong" haben sich schnell in meinen Gehörgängen festgesetzt."

(Pressuremagazine.de)

"Selten hat ein Albumtitel so gut zum Inhalt gepasst wie hier. (...) Dieses Album kann einem mehrere Wochen sommerlicher Höchsttemperaturen ersetzen."

(Valve-Magazine.net)

"(...) das neue Album von Jaya the Cat ist einfach gut und findet hoffentlich eine große Hörerschaft."

(Crazyunited.de, Note 2)

"Sommerliches Album, das aber auch im Herbst zu überzeugen weiß."

(Ulm-News.de)

Jaya The Sheep

It's unbelieveable. The Jaya test pressing was sold for 199 € and now Plan will be able to help a lot of people with that money. I think Wayne Hudgins has reserved his place in heaven with his final bid. Thanks bro!

By the way, Wayne and some friends will open a Jaya online shop soon, so check out www.jayajunk.com

And here is what we did with that money: One sheep for a family in Ethiopia, some goats for refugees in Niger, emergency relief in the Sahelian zone, meals for 10 kids in Uganda and a training for teachers in Burkina Faso. Wow!
