Janet Vodka is a rarity: a horn-powered alternative pop/rock band that doesn't specialize in ska-punk. Unlike the vast majority of rock bands -- alternative or otherwise -- Janet Vodka has averaged around 14 or 15 members and has usually had enough people onboard to qualify as a big band. But Janet Vodka doesn't play the sort of music one ordinarily associates with big bands; the ambitious East Coast outfit doesn't sound anything like Woody Herman, Benny Goodman, or Buddy Rich. Janet Vodka is very much an alternative pop/rock act, and their influences range from punk, jazz, and Latin music to '60s pop and British Invasion rock.
