Listen To This: Drink Up!
Filed under: Listen To This
The Brits aren't the only ones that can shake and boogy to the treo beat.
The Booze is a mouthwatering band from Atlanta that are equal parts Winehouse and some lo-fi garage band down the street.
The Booze make soul songs with edge and melody with such titles and Heartache.
Their sound is vintage and mod, which means they're very NOW.
Enjoy the delicious Over and Over below. Then CLICK HERE to listen to some other great tunes from The Booze!

THEY SUCK!!!
First lol!
You are wrong about this one Perez.
They suck.
Tin-ny and just desperate sounding.
no matter how you try. you are not an a&r person perez.
your attempts at becoming a tastemaker are pathetic.
1st?
I agree Roxanna, Perez your music taste sucks and I'm sure these bands pay you to talk about them.
I looooove it
I looooove it
Yuk - don't like them
Anyway - F_I_R_S_T
It's okay, but nothing to make me wanna sing…. or dance….. just say oh, sounds retro…
Sounds like the beginning of Bonanza!!!
Tenth.
They suck shit! Perez has no fucking taste! His label will fail miserably and the money he makes will not protect him from all the bad karma he's racked up. Perez is a loser!
There is nothing Amy Winehouse about their sound.
Perez knows anothing about music. This band seriously needs production help.
Is that short guy david hyde pierce in a wig?
Second!
love it!!!!!!
hOOo needs to lizchenn…I dig schem alreaADY. hIC

The woman who runs X17 is a whore with STD's
perez you turned me on to amy, adele, now THE BOOZE. Loves it!!!!!!!!
Love them, love them, love them!!!!!!!!!!!!
THANK GOD FOR GOOD MUSIC!!! I'm sick of songs about slapping hoes and shooting up shit.
awesome!!!! reminds me a little bit of sebadoh, so nice.
pretty good song. the guy on the left looks kinda like Ryan Seacrest.
sycophant
Yeah…I was really ready to give them a chance, especially throwing the name Winehouse around. Too bad this was booorrriiinnngg…like, for real. Incredibly blah.
Stick to bloggin'.Your label fold in under a year. You have THE WORST taste in music. Go get herpes le'douche1
LOVE IT!

one.hit.wonder.
If that. It just isn't memorable. Winehouse was memorable.
I dont understand why if ppl hate perez so much why they are on his fucking site listening to the music he puts on here..get over it..he rules..he has great taste and if you dont like it GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!
ummm… that's garbage. and i don't mean butch vig 'garbage'. that's just not a good song.
I love you perez, but at least proofread what you post - it shows such unprofessionalism!
first… this music is fucking CRAP!!
ABSOLUTELY
NOTHING
ORIGINAL
ABOUT THEM.
GO BACK TO KARAOKE BARS AND PLAYING IN YOUR GARAGE
X17 practices CENSORSHIP…while they run pictures of Britney's bloody twat…KLASSY!!
i love the booze,they're great.
Um? can i point out that the beginning of the this song sounds exacly like the beginning of Standing In The Way Of Control by The Gossip! Rip off!
love it, P
also love Glasvegas, which has kinda sorta that mod/vintage vibe
Perez said…
Their sound is vintage and mod, which means they're very NOW
Umm, hate to break it to you morons, but that sound has been done before, and it was better the first time.
Seriously Perez, your taste in music sucks, as all these modern bands do not have a single ounce of originality or creativity to them.
The 80s is over, kids. It happened once and it's not coming back so maybe try something new? Maybe?
No wonder all the good records today are made by the veterans. All these suckshit bands Perez gets a hardon over will be gone in 12 months and no one will care about them.
finally! loved these guys for a year.
Really SUCKS. Honestly.
These boys remind me more of The Lovin' Spoonful and a little of Tommy James and the Shondells. That old kind of music that most people are stupid to have no taste for these days.
mm kind of sounds like the strokes.
Re: Crew –
fuck yeah the strokes
they didn't pay to get on this, they just make perez shake and shimmy. go see them perform, amazing show!
are you kidding me??????????? i saw them play recently and THEY SUCKED BIG BALLS. i mean the lead singers name is Chaz Tolliver(WTF??) and has the worst stage presence i've ever seen in my life, he does this weird shit with his hand that's totally annoying. oh wait maybe that's just the MOD in him. ugh..hah. these are a bunch of kids from the burbs and they are not original in the least. they are trying way too hard.
Am I the only one who thinks dude on far left looks like Ryan Seacrest??????
The recordings dont do them justice.
Go see them live. They're great.
They're cute too…
i ve seen that before………….good production but……no feelings
You think these guys are good, you should hear Thee Crucials.
They rock so much harder than these Tools.
VIVA ATL!
PEREZ SPENDS WAY TOO MUCH FUCKIN TIME LOOKIN FOR SHITTY, OBSCURE BANDS ON MYSPACE SIMPLY SO HE CAN SAY THAT *HE* DISCOVERED THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GHEY AND HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not nearly as great as the last few songs you have told us about…. I'll take mine British.
Fuck Yeah, I know them!
Great sound!
STROKES
STROKES
STROKES
STROKES
the dude on the right looks like eminem with donald trumps hair
#66 is right - THEE CRUCIALS is the best Atlanta band - they kick booze ass -
THEE CRUCIALS know how to put on a show!!!!!!!!
Congrats Booze for making it on Perez. Like someone else said before "Viva ATL!" There are piles of great bands coming out of the ATL right now. BLACK LIPS! BEAT BEAT BEAT! THE COATHANGERS! THEE CRUCIALS! ALL NIGHT DRUG PROWLING WOLVES! Atlanta is full of great punk, rock and garage bands right now. EVERYONE LISTEN TO PRETTY MUCH ANYTHING ON ROB'S HOUSE RECORDS!
Re: Evil Eye – how could this possibly be considered anything even resembling the 80's…. what the fuck are you talking about?
Re: suck it –
Exactly, they sound like a 1950s The Strokes
I am impressed with the fact you chose a band that wasn't dance-y or well… how can I say this without it sounding slightly offensive… gay? I am tired of the pop scene… it all sounds the same. So it is nice to see other music other than dance tracks and girl groups.
hey i saw these guys a while back. they were great. that singer guy was pretty effen good.
OMG There is so much better stuff here in Atlanta other than The BOOZE. Gringo Star is a hell of a lot better.
Amazing - reminds me of Locksley
