Dead Zone Boys by Jookabox

Jookabox
Genre: Drum & Bass / Punk / Acousmatic / Tape music
From: Indianopolis, Indiana, United States

Dead Zone Boys, the third album from Jookabox (Indianapolis-born David "Moose" Adamson and Co.), scheduled for release early November 2009 is love story meets psychedelic zombie-musical.

The zombie part came easy: Moose grew up on the east side of Indianapolis in the 90s, an area plagued by constant recession, pandemic homicide, and racial tension. A few strong tribes chose to stay in the area despite constant warnings from fleeing acquaintances. It was this frantic energy and violence that infused itself into the Jookabox experience. Since then, the area struggles to revitalize and Adamson’s musical interests and excursions have crystallized into a startlingly singular and eclectic songwriting strategy. One thing is certain here. If vacant strip malls occupied only by shitdragged liquor stores and fluorescent check cashing joints are foreign to you, then Dead Zone Boys will be your guidebook, Jookabox your tour guide. This is more evident now than ever on what is sure to become a cult classic.
