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!

hey #91 and #93 - are you five years old? or just a compulsive liar? All of that stuff you said is bullshit. THEE CRUCIALS are great guys who make great music. I think you might be a bit jealous . . . you poor thing. you don't have to make shit up to get attention!
Oh, yeah, the maverick of new young and fresh music is mario, LOL…but then your not so young anymore…and as for fresh…just ask the person who washes your dirty drawers with the brown skid marks!
Your not young anymore, Mario…how do it feel to be moving one down the line without having made your mark with anything substantive? you really are a prick, you know!
Re: Nothing Crucial –
Looks like someone wants a little attention . . .you are obviously a compulsive liar. Thee Crucials are great guys who make great music. You don't have to make up bullshit to get noticed . . .unless you are five years old, which it seems you probably are. you poor thing.
Yeahhhhhh The Booze kickass
too bad shane [the drummer] has to be the worst person in atlanta.
Look, people. I'm from the ATL and I know: music is fun.
^ yeah..he actually dry humped me in my sleep once.
i am the worst thing to ever happen to this city.
Re: eastatlanta – I AM THE WORST THING TO EVER HAPPEN TO THIS CITY.
very cool jam.
reminds me of arctic monkeys.
Callin Out to You by Booze is catchy
More like "The Boooos"
Clone bullshit. They're trying too hard to sound like mid-sixties garage bands, or the Kinks, or Dave Clark Five. No melody, crappy vocals, lousy instrumentals, just all-around amateur crap. PH, stop trying to pass off no-talents as the next great thing all of the time. Either you have no taste, or you're paid off.
Press is press… better to have some than none. Milk this tit!

Sucks
LOVE! Keep picking - love your picks
The music is not bad but the lead singer has got to go.
that shit sucks
i love the booze
the black one looks like Jake Gyllenhaal
Re: hell – It's true. HELL is the worst thing to happen to this city.
Man, this post is HIGH-LARIOUS.
However, I'm pretty sure if you have a flat tire some time in Little Five, one of them will magically appear, pose with his drumsticks in his back pocket, and say, "YOU LADIES NEED SOME HELP?" At which point he will make a homeless man do the deed instead.
Re: tii – Which one's the black one?
Re: brandon static – Nah, that wasn't the singer of Thee Crucials. It was just Corky from Life Goes On.
I like that song a lot, but couldn't find them on Rhapsody!
i think you should leave the music to us brits just now, especially this sound, it's laughable, you guys can't pull it off. needs the british edge
Not bad, but this is NOT Soul or Mod, it's old fashioned Rockabilly Music.
C'mon Perez, learn your music genres if you plan on working the music angle.
Great song Perez. We have similar tastes in music. Keep songs like this coming in the Listen To This section. Thanks. Peace
As a member of Thee Crucials, I'm appalled at the 3rd grade BS on this board. We are good friends with The Booze and frequently play shows with them. They are a great band and a great group of guys. This is not a competition, this is rock n' roll. Grow up fucktards!
the one on the far looks like ryan seacrest with long hair.
the one in the pix on the far left looks like ryan seacrest w/long hair.
I say,
NO, NO, NO!
Well, maybe is not so good but always rROCK gonna be better that any fuckin stupid pop o hi-hop shit. ALWAYS
Re: shotgun – THAT IS EXACTLY HOW IT HAPPENED. I AM SO GLAD YOU WERE THERE.
REMEMBER WHEN HIS DRUNK ASS CALLED LIKE FIVE TIMES TO MAKE SURE WE WERE AT THE SAME SEVANANDA?
the booze sucks and shane has a small dick. there are way better bands in atlanta. get real please.
Yr music selections are surprisingly and consistently good. Thanx!
vintage and mod has always been the NOW you idiot!
I saw them with the Heart Attacks at the Masquerade!!! They are friends of friends I have. Good pick Perez!
Ha
I'm sorry perez, you have reccomended some good shit in the past, but this just sucks dick…
and whoever said that the guy on the left looks like seacreast is soo right! lol
wow thats weird i just saw them for the first time last weekend.
i live about an hour away from atlanta.. im so happy to see them on here i enjoyed them a lot!
THE BOOZE IS THE SHIT!!!!!! This kinda music is gonna be the new trend. they have a great sound and are fabulous live. DOWNLOAD THEIR CD ON ITUNES AND CHECK OUT THEIR NEW ONE COMING OUT IN A FEW MONTHS. I LOVE YOU, THE BOOZE. YOU DESERVE EVERY BIT OF THIS.
they're cute. catchy tune.
Some of you on here don't know your fucking elbow from your ass hole. These cats work hard and are paying their dues. Wait until you hear the new album!
Let's start with ball less, then on move on to dickless, spineless, worthless, sexless and decidedly unerect.
If these half baked teenyboppers make it then there's hope for every limp wristed, namby pamby, uninspired bullshit out there.
The Booze sound like a bad version of The Strokes. The Strokes sound like bad versions of bands The Booze list as their influences. Music is evolving not for the better of mankind. Know this, the best mod bands are not in the U.S.
The Booze are good. Trophy Wives and Devoradora are better. Thee Crucials are the best.
I paid $10 to watch the Trophy Wives play songs about meth labs, and shove PBR cans up a blow-up doll's ass.

I'm sorry, but The Booze just don't do that, and that's a shame. Get with the times.
hey hey now, my friend is the bass player. they are rad, be nice!
Who gives a fuck about these unknown bands? If these bands are soo incredible, why the hell didn't Perez put anything about them on the site? Think about that for a while. I'm not saying Perez's taste in music is good. I just think people on this board are just pissed because Perez did not mention your personal favorite band from Atlanta or from wherever he decides to mention. Most of the time his picks for music for us to look out for are foreign. We should all give Perez a big thank you for even caring about putting "Listen To This" on his site. It shows he cares about unsigned artists and is not just a wack job who cares only about whatever MTV or VH-1 tell us to like.
Please everyone stop hating on Perez, The Booze or any other band I have read about on this comment section. This is something we should use to show support to the bands Perez and anyone else mentions. I will say I support unheard music as long as it is good.
Fun! Love love love xox
NO! WHY? I have seen this band play. I am from Atlanta. The singer was so horribly off key and horrendous it almost made me cry. The other guys in the band are sleazy, creepy jerks. This band does not deserve the publicity. At all. And the song you posted is completely boring.
hey lexy babe, where's your blog so i can read it?
the booze play in my home town, Charlotte NC a lot. I usually make it out to all of their shows. its one of the best shows that comes around these parts these days. tons of dancing and drinking and happy faces, and the boys are all great gents. if all of you dumb ass kids that have nothing better to do with your time than sit on the internet and comment about how everything sucks, why dont you try to fuckin do something yourself.
these guys are just doing what they love, playing music.
I really wanna go to Chaz Toe Liver's ball dropping party.
It's sometime in 2011, right?
Re: Producer –
You wouldn't know production if it hit you in the head.
The Booze, however, don't need production, see… They just need to rock!
To all you people that are hatin' on The Booze, fuck off! You just don't get it. The Booze, for my money, is the best band in Atlanta and are some pretty cool cats. Keep rockin' guys.
Here are a few bands all from Atlanta and songs you all should myspace and listen to.
Beat Beat Beat - "Don't Tell Me Now" (Great old school punk sound, great live)
Black Lips - "O Katrina" (If you have not heard of them, you live under a rock)
The Coathangers - "Tonya Harding" (All girl band, good on record, o.k live.)
Gentleman Jessie and His Men - "Don't Wanna To Know" (Great song, great live, great vocals.)
Thee Crucials - "Doe Eyes" (Great garage band from Atlanta. This song is full of energy and is very rock n roll. This song makes me dance.)
The Carbonas - "Black Out" (AMAZING!!!! Full of energy. Their singles on myspace are fast, and also makes me dance.)
Of course The Booze are on my favorite Atlanta bands. I just say listen to all their myspace songs and pick a favorite because I can't.
Maybe you guys will let the rest of the U.S. and world know Atlanta has great bands and not all of them sound like hillbilly music. I love you all!
The dusky one is wearing Billy Gibbon's shower cap, he should return it to him.
I carpool with the guy on the right.
Seriously.
i love them!
The Booze produce fun shows that get me dancing on my feet. Perez hit the head on the nail with this one - these boys are talented.
You guys need to shut the fuck up these guys are good!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don't hate on Perezzle he aint done shit to you!!!!!!!!
