Just when I thought this batch of releases couldn't get any better along came this next 3 tracker from totally out of left field and knocked me completely off my brothel creepered feet. What am I talking about? Well if the handwritten letter that accompanied this 7" from JJ & The Real Jerks is to be believed I was just about to discover (as you are) Uber Rock's fave new band from Los Angeles. And boy do these guys make a good case with their glorious punk rock 'n' roll racket!
Pressed on clear vinyl and released via Kung Pao Chicken Pickin' Records this limited to 300 EP should be possessed by every true Uber Rocker, it bleeds NYC punk rock chic from its grooves and even without seeing the band you just know they will also be clad in leather and black jeans with their effects pedals set to "Space Ace". It really is impossible to pick a standout track here, as every track is simply fricking awesome. The A side features the infectious 'High Anxiety Society', a song that when you hear it you will immediately want the band playing near you as soon as possible. This is a riotous celebration of what we all love in a great rock 'n' roll band. Next up you get to hear Short Term Memory Lane', and great song title aside it is also an indication of just how quickly JJ and his Real Jerks have been winning the scene over as it features both Nick Oliveri and Greg Kuehn's talents on this honky tonk Stooges romp. This is simply stunning stuff from start to finish and the temptation to simply have this side on constant repeat is certainly very high.
When you do finally get to the B Side, you're immediately greeted with JJ screaming "Gimme, Gimme, Gimme My Noise Pollution" as 'Punch Out At The Record Store' melts your speaker cones, and who am I to argue with the man?
Look.... If you love bands like The Chelsea Smiles, Bullets and Octane, The Hellacopters and Danko Jones you must click the link I've put in above taking you to the band's blogspot. DO IT NOW!!!! and JJ & The Real Jerks really will be your favourite new band from Los Angeles, TRUST ME....
