Into the New is a studio album by the American band Vallejo, released in 2000. [3] [4]
It was the band's first album after signing with Emilio Estefan. [5]
The Austin Chronicle wrote that it's "not that Vallejo don't have their own sound. They do. One that sounds like 30 years of classic rock radio." [2] Texas Monthly thought that "the hooks are heavy, the power ballads are surprisingly sensitive, and the Latin percussion and Santana-inspired workouts are fluid and funky." [5] The Morning Call wrote that "the tepid yowling, forced funkiness, grunge-lite posturing and jam-band jive that pockmarks Into The New will make you want to kick sand in Vallejo's face." [6]
All songs composed by A.J. Vallejo, Alejandro Vallejo and Omar Vallejo except where specified

The Jackofficers was a short-lived side project started by Gibby Haynes and Jeff Pinkus of the Butthole Surfers. They released their only album, Digital Dump, in 1990 and disbanded the same year following a brief club tour that found them simply hitting play on a Sony Walkman and standing there while it played. The music consisted entirely of samples manipulated and mixed on early computer software and f/x. Samples range from Jimi Hendrix spoken words to The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. The Chicago Tribune wrote: "Sounding somewhere between industrial dance such as Ministry and Herbie Hancock, this stuff is OK if you want to dance in a dump." Spin called it "mega-brilliant weirdness." The Washington Post stated that the album is "a little funkier, and a little funnier, than most industrial."
