We are in the process of recording our new record - that means gathering and completing various tracks we have already laid down and recording our latest songs. We feel we are writing our best material ever and since our last release was in 2006, the time is right to get our new stuff out to our fans. Like all our releases we will vary our sound mixing rockin' barn burners with mellower rootsy acoustic numbers. We have some work ahead of us but we enjoy the process and can't wait to hit the road and play these songs for you all. We are shooting for a March 2010 release date.  Thanks for listening! Jewels and Johnny

DID YOU KNOW...
Johnny played lead guitar with a pretty kick ass band back in the day?
Well, they were called THE JONESES and it's time you found out about them!
Full Breach Kicks has recently re-issued their best material on vinyl, CD, and digital download.
Check out some photos on our pics page.
Here's a review of the band and a link to get it:

THE JONESES “CRIMINAL HISTORY REVISITED” CD / VINYL 2xLP/digital
Out of all the rock ‘n’ roll sleaze bands in Hollywood during the 1980s, The Joneses are recognized as coming first and being the toughest and most honest of them all. This no-nonsense group of trash rockers, led by the charismatic Jeff Drake, were a hot-blooded mix of the New York Dolls, Johnny Thunders, and Eddie Cochran, too glam for punk and too punk for rock. If the term “trashy rock ‘n’ roll” could only apply to one band, The Joneses would take the label in spades.

Their music was raw and powerful, their style a mix of their predecessors. They lived the sleazy rock ‘n’ roll life like they invented it, with clever songs about their tales of pills, booze, chicks, and decadence. The Joneses brought their own definition of cool to the table, youthful yet timeless, fierce yet endearing, and drugged up and drunk the whole time. Their music was pure punk fueled rock ‘n’ roll aggression, sung with ‘50s style melody but coming hard with ‘80s Los Angeles aggression.

Unfortunately, The Joneses had all the right parts but were not recognized for being the unique forbearers they were. To say these rockers were cool wouldn’t be saying enough. They were the symbol of cool on the Hollywood strip, and they were what rock ‘n’ roll was and is really about. No posturing or false chic – they were the real deal, the real sleaze with the real sound of the street.

This collection has been re-mastered and includes The Joneses best songs, rare and unreleased songs only found on this release, many unseen pictures, and detailed liner notes. The vinyl double LP comes with an exclusive digital download of the entire collection.

Thou needeth coolin', baby. I'm not foolin'. I'm gonna
send thee back to schoolin' with the Ten Commandments
Revisited. If thou wishes to climb the Stairway to
Heaven, then thou must abide by these ten holy rock n'
rules:
1. Thou shalt rock and roll all night, and thou shalt
party every day.
2. Thou shalt not be cruel to a heart that's true.
3. Thou shalt hope to die before thee get old.
4. Thou shalt not give a damn about thy bad
reputation.
5. Mothers and fathers throughout the land-thou shalt
not criticize what thou can't understand, for thy sons
and thy daughters are beyond thy comand.
6. Thou don't needeth no education. Thou don't needeth
no thought control.
7. Thou shalt have sympathy for the devil.
8. Thou shalt give peace a chance.
9. Number nine, number nine, number nine...
10. Get thy motor running, head out on the highway,
and looketh for adventure in whatever comes thy way,
for thou art born to be wild.
