"...makes you want shake the everlovin’ sh*t out of your cornhole."

Greasy twang, driving rhythms, a sense of melody and brevity contribute to a sound that draws on influences from the entirety of rock and roll’s storied history. This is The Bosch, a New York City quartet who sounds something like what might happen “if Brian Wilson, Dick Dale, and Joey Ramone stayed up all night taking speed pills and Ritalin.”
With the release of the new EP, Hurry Up, the band plans to introduce more listeners to their high-tempo, high-volume melodic pop music. Matt Harrison (guitar/ vocals) and Holt Richardson (drums/vocals) trace their musical collaborations back to high school days. Joined by Andrew Raff (saxophone/keyboards) and Valerie Sauve (bass/vocals), The Bosch sound like a raucous mix of The Clash, The Violent Femmes and Phil Spector with a side of Springsteen and a dash of Man... Or Astroman.
The band’s previous album, Buy One, Get One, enjoyed spins at hundreds of college radio stations, debuted at 21 on the FMQB Specialty FM Alternative Charts in December 2005, and was featured on XM Radio’s RADAR Report and Unsigned at WOXY.com. The Bosch’s music has also been heard in independent films, the soundtrack of MTV reality programs, on video games and in national advertising campaigns for Volkswagen and Burger King.
After Hurry Up proves to have similar impact, The Bosch are confident that they will shortly be within striking distance of that ultimate rock star fantasy: the chance to hunt whales in a hovercraft.

Check out these two new music videos created under the auspices of Mort Todd:
"Beware: SADISTIK!" features clips from the new film THE DIABOLIKAL SUPER-KRIMINAL and music from the soundtrack by The Charles E. Hall Band (featuring members of The Bosch). Mort produced the music, film and video.
"Way Out" is from the album Going Way Out with Heavy Trash, featuring Jon Spencer and Matt Verta-Ray. Mort co-directed the video with Matt.
Hi there The Bosch first of all we'd like to say thanks for being our myspace pal. We wanted to make sure you knew the reason incase we suddenly vanish off of your friends list. The movement we've started for indie artists has grown significantly and consumes all of our time these days. We seldom sign into our myspace account and this is making several people believe that we are ignoring them. We are not ignoring anyone, we wanted everyone to know that. What we're doing has become so busy we just don't have the time for myspace any longer, so in all honesty we are probably going to just close our myspace account.
Many people wanted to use us in the future so if you were one of those people make sure you bookmark the link below so that in the event that we do close our myspace account you won't lose contact with us. I wish you the best of luck in your music career. Thanks again for being our myspace pal.
Hello Handsome members of The Bosch. We are in Brooklyn right now. It is awesome. We're playing a show at Magnetic Field tonight and then in Manhattan at Lit Lounge tomorrow. If you are around please stop by and say hello. We would like to slay you with our rock and also our faces.
