The Vox Jaguars To Release Debut EP on Anodyne Records

The Vox Jaguars are set to release their debut self-titled EP through Anodyne Records on February 10th. With two members still in high school, the band have a an irreverent punk delivery that belies their tender ages. The Vox Jaguars have gained an ardent local following owing to their raucous gigs that showcase their modern twist on classic garage rock with tracks like ‘Swagger’ and ‘Song For The Girl’, taking cues from bands like The Talking Heads and The Velvet Underground as well as a nod to fellow Northern Californians The PeeChees in vocalist Jordy Topf’s standoffish nasal delivery.
