Our Take
Our Take
In 1977, Teenage Jesus & The Jerks burst onto the scene with their raw and unapologetic punk energy. Their live album, recorded that same year, captures the essence of the band's chaotic and rebellious spirit.
From the moment the opening notes of "Orphans" kick in, it's clear that frontwoman Lydia Lunch is a force to be reckoned with. Her snarling vocals cut through the dissonant guitar riffs like a knife, leaving no room for subtlety or gentleness. The band's relentless energy is matched only by their ability to create a cacophony of noise that somehow manages to sound deliberate and calculated.
Tracks like "Red Alert" and "Crown Of Thorns" showcase the band's ability to create tension and release in the span of a few short minutes. The dissonant guitar work of James Chance adds a layer of chaos to the already frenetic energy of the band, while drummer Bradley Field keeps the pace with his relentless and pounding beats.
While Teenage Jesus & The Jerks may not have achieved mainstream success, their influence on the punk scene cannot be overstated. This live album is a testament to the band's uncompromising vision and dedication to pushing boundaries. So grab your safety pins and leather jackets, and prepare to be blown away by the raw power of Teenage Jesus & The Jerks.

About the artist
Teenage Jesus & the Jerks
Profile: TEENAGE JESUS & THE JERKS If you haven't heard of TEENAGE JESUS & THE JERKS, then you clearly haven't been paying attention to the underground music scene. Led by the enigmatic Lydia Lunch, this band has been causing a stir since the late 1970s with their raw, confrontational punk sound. Hailing from New York City, TEENAGE JESUS & THE JERKS are not your average band. Their music is a cacophony of screeching guitars, pounding drums, and Lydia Lunch's unmistakable vocals, which range from haunting whispers to guttural screams. It's not for the faint-hearted, but for those who dare to listen, it's a visceral experience like no other. Lydia Lunch is a force to be reckoned with. With her fearless attitude and no-holds-barred approach to music, she has become a cult figure in the punk scene. And with the rest of the band backing her up, TEENAGE JESUS & THE JERKS are a force to be reckoned with on stage. Their live shows are legendary, with Lunch prowling the stage like a caged animal, while the band unleashes a barrage of noise that is both exhilarating and terrifying. It's a visceral experience that leaves you feeling both exhausted and exhilarated. In a world of polished pop stars and manufactured bands, TEENAGE JESUS & THE JERKS are a breath of fresh air. They don't care about fitting in or playing by the rules - they just want to make music that challenges, provokes, and inspires. And for that, we salute them.
