PRESS:

"Jimmy 2 Times. . . is ska in the grand old tradition. . . reminiscent of ska-masters Skankin' Pickle, or for those of you with more obscure tastes, (J2X) might remind you of really early Oingo Boingo. I'm talking late 70's, hardcore stuff here, like 'Good for your Soul'." -Soundcheck Magazine

"Jimmy 2 Times' awesome set in the rain, . . . played early on in the day. . . was fast, fun and energetic. And the rain didn't stop the poly-instrumented crew; they kept right on, leading the crowd into a ska-induced frenzy."-Campus Point Magazine (UCSB)

"J2X is a melting pot of musical styles that includes ska, rockabilly surf and pop-rock. Very, very fun live show for sure!" -Zero Magazine
