Tell me how much the Accordion Rocks!!!
In Squeeze Rock, his solo CD debut, Julz A uses the accordion as a central figure in the rock riffs of his songs. His sound is fundamentally alternative rock music with a whole spectrum of influences. Julz A pushes the envelope in how melodic guitar-driven music alters the way we listen to hip-hop and rapping, with a musical laboratory of raw accordion polyphony. The album’s personnel is simple, but the use of accordion pushes the CD’s eclectic sound into the same category as Beck, Outkast, early De La Soul and Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Fingers fanned out at chest level, terry-cloth band on his wrist, leaning back slightly, he [Julz A] strikes a classic rapper's pose despite playing an instrument that has been relegated to Dorkville at least since the Beatles.
-Andrew Adam Newman, NY Times
"Layering slinking beats over the sounds of his squeezebox, Julz-A ... rewrites nearly every rock precept laid down before him, ushering a new realm of artistry and experimentation into the hip-hop pantheon."
-Stephen Bove, Asbury Park Press

Why the Accordion Rocks

The accordion rocks like my grandmother's rocking chair: back and forth, back and forth. One accordion is always a little out of tune, it takes two guitars to get that sensitivity. Every box is...
