New Centuries (is now JETSKIIS)

About Me


"Singer Ryan Beaujolais has a little Hell in him. Not Hell of the fire and brimstone variety, but hell of the Richard variety. With a histrionic delivery reminscent of the New York Voidoid, Beaujolais leads his band, San Francisco's The New Centuries, through songs with more mood swings than the onset of puberty."
-SF Weekly
"The New Centuries have caught my ear with their auspicious Paradise Massage EP, which reminds me a bit of Wolf Parade, Modest Mouse and Desparacedos”
–Aaron Axelson, Live105
"There are two forces at play here – the sort of indie guitar-synth dance rock sound vs. a yearning for a little post-rock action... The New Centuries kick ass when they skate the line so perfectly on tunes like "Middle Years." Don't let the dancing fool you, The New Centuries are bound to shake comparisons and play their own way in the future."
-Stranger Dance
"Their music is sometimes poppy, sometimes heavy, sometimes artsy. The foursome are an interesting mix of styles. These guys have a lot of energy- an attribute that most local bands lack. I think the guitarist did the splits at one point, and the bassist at times looked like he might be having a seizure. I love that shit. Definitely a band to watch."
