This week’s Music Monday is a collective, warehouse choice. Our Boston friends, You Can Be A Wesley, have a new album out called Heard Like Us which you can sample & buy here! YCBAW was also recently featured on Filter! We just updated the YCBAW page on our website and sent them up a fresh box of Jetty threads! Enjoy this “oldie”, but goodie!

Episode VI of The Urchin Life delves into the background of Almost There, Jetty’s newest musical addition to our family. Zach & Ed cruised down, filled up on some gear and busted out an impromptu acoustic recording at the warehouse! Great guys making great music….we’re thrilled to have them on board and can’t wait to grow the band & brand together! Check them out on Facebook & Youtube! Video courtesy of Tony Coon.

Join the Jetty crew all week (8/1 through 8/5) @ Fantasy Island for Surf’s Up Week! We’ll be under the tent selling NEW, Jetty threads and accepting raffle tickets for two surfboards donated by Island Surf & Sail! The Following will be supplying the musical vibrations as well! We will be in the amusement park Monday through Thursday 6-10pm and Friday 2-10pm! See you there!

This week’s Music Monday comes from Philadelphia, PA native Kurt Vile and was selected by Jetty Urchin Mallory Hawes. “Freak Train” comes from Vile’s 3rd album, Childish Prodigy on Matador Records (2009). Enjoy!

We knew the boys from Underdog were rad as soon as we met them. The Jetty way of life is something we all share and pass down from generation to generation. Here are a few pics of our boys representing at their show in Asbury Park, NJ a couple of weeks ago…right on! Photos courtesy of Ann Coen & Alex Rivera.

This week’s Music Monday was chosen by Jetty Urchin Taylor Collins. Ghostland Observatory is quite the accomplished duo with 4 albums released to date and a knack for incredibly visual stage shows. Enjoy!

Ducks & Drakes and The Following, two of our favorite bands will be tearing it up at The Marlin tomorrow night @ 10pm! Come on out for some $5 pitchers, beer pong and Jetty giveaways! These bands always draw a great crowd so if you aren’t privy to them, then please check in for what’s sure to be a great night!

This is a special Music Monday because we are using it to welcome the uptempo, power-trio Almost There to our family! These guys bought a Jetty shirt in Zumiez a couple of weeks ago and bam…the love affair began! After lead man Zach Sicherman contacted us, they came down and discussed why Jetty would be such a fitting sponsor and it really does make sense. They reign from Ocean Twp., NJ and have decided to record their debut, full-length album independently (without support of a major record label). Even after winning a couple of national contests, banking some large cash prizes and scoring a visit to Pulse Recording Studio in Los Angeles, CA there appear to still be some naysayers calling them lucky. Well, we don’t think so at all! These guys are super cool and incredibly talented. They are a great example of The Jetty Life as they are working hard to pursue their dreams! You can visit them on Youtube where they post a new, acoustic cover every Thursday, like them on Facebook and check out their brand new Jetty page here! We’re stoked on adding these radical musicians to our team!

Get down with the Jetty crew at Daddy-O this Saturday, July 16th for a some steel drums & rum! This Happy Hour party on the back deck will feature steel drum band DNA and is sponsored by Mount Gay Rum! The weather looks perfect for a little, outdoor party, oh yeah!

Underdog is playing the Asbury Lanes this Saturday so we felt it was apropos to post their only video! Since linking up with these guys, we’ve been able to skate with Russ Iglay quite a bit up in Belmar, NJ, dude kills it! We’re hoping to also get a surf session in soon with his brother Dean, who by the looks of this video, surfs smooth and with style! It’s refreshing to see that this band participates in the activities which have inspired them to write and play their music. Check out the flyer for their upcoming show here! Great guys, legendary vibes!
