These days, it’s not enough to merely claim The Rolling Stones and The Kinks as influences. Everyone loves The Stones and Kinks, thanks to Martin Scorsese and Wes Anderson films, respectively, just like every band claims to be influenced by such 60’s and 70’s music. Yet, The Booze make it all believable.

The new album, At Maximum Volume, is slated to be released March 8th on Underrated Records. Look for them on tour with label-mates The Biters, along with a date at SXSW 2011.
