Listen To This: Drink Up!

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 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!
Producer says – reply to this

There is nothing Amy Winehouse about their sound.
Perez knows anothing about music. This band seriously needs production help.

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.
greg says – reply to this

57

Really SUCKS. Honestly.
Cassandra says – reply to this

58

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.
kristiee says – reply to this

mm kind of sounds like the strokes.
kristiee says – reply to this

Re: Crew –

they didn't pay to get on this, they just make perez shake and shimmy. go see them perform, amazing show!
LAME says – reply to this

62

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.
Ryan Seacrest says – reply to this

63

Am I the only one who thinks dude on far left looks like Ryan Seacrest??????
Blanche Bundy says – reply to this

The recordings dont do them justice.
Go see them live. They're great.
They're cute too…

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?
ang says – reply to this

76

Re: suck it –
Exactly, they sound like a 1950s The Strokes
K says – reply to this

77

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.
sweeterthan says – reply to this

78

hey i saw these guys a while back. they were great. that singer guy was pretty effen good.

SBG says – reply to this

82

The Booze are great and great live! I've seen them a hundred times and never been disappointed. They sound like bands you kids have never heard of because you're not cool enough, but what's better than that, they sound like themselves. Not everything good has to be derivative.

If you haven't listened to the rest of the album, you should.
brandon static says – reply to this

83

these guys are definately a buncha nut sacks, i'm from atlanta and know for a fact that the guys from thee crucials write all the songs for the booze. the clever singer of thee crucials, once gave randy (the brown guy) a knuckle sandwich and had him laid up in the hospital for days.
funny stuff.

NOTHING'S CRUCIAL! says – reply to this

91

THEE CRUCIALS ARE A BUNCH OF OLD MEN WHO BEAT THEIR WIVES. THEE SINGER IS UNDER INVESTIGATION OF OPERATING A CHILD PORN RING.
the Booze are supreme!

Nothing Crucial says – reply to this

93

Thee Crucials are way too old, and thee child porn ring the bass player recently got busted for is just crazy. f- those guys.
WHY? says – reply to this

94

Why are Thee Crucials or any other Atlanta band mentioned on here? This is about The Booze. The Booze do their own thing.
Girl says – reply to this

95

Awesome choice Perez. I know these guys. I actually took photographs for their band years ago because one of my friends used to be in their band and I am a photographer. They are super cool, hard working guys and they deserve the promotion. Very cool guys.
nikki says – reply to this

96

HOLY SHIT! yay perez! these guys are the best and i love them to death- special hugs to my boy drummer shane! you should come to atlanta and see them live! they will destroy you with their crazy energy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
