Sounds LikeFor some misguided reason we also have our own JRA site. We might maintain that regularly in the future, but since Myspace is where all the predators hang out we figured we might as well too.

We have numerous sweet sounds, but none of them are professional.

Critics, friends, relatives and major psycho fans have used the following to describe JRA: Derivative, hacks, weak!, drunk, stormy, mediocre, pissy, rockin', inspired, stale, edgy, cliched, poppy, middle aged or older, sorta folky, blues houndish, lacking, hip-shaking, obviously on drugs, punk with a little twist 'o' soul, smart, snappy, insightful, ploddish, grassy knoll-ish, immature, heartfelt, dumb, loud (but caring and sensitive), fast, sloppy, knee-slappin', groovy, gorgeous, blazing, LOL!, raw, roaring, tight, mid-tempo, boring, remorseful, improvisational, limited and deranged.

We're not gonna set the world on fire with fresh new sounds that've never been heard before, but we're having fun. Well, at least some of us are.

We were gonna call the band "Big Al's Global Warming", but we are much too mature to pull a stunt like that.

   About Jack Ruby’s Alibi




Not much history yet... we were working on some tunes and aimed to have a debut completed in 2007, but that's not gonna happen. It might never happen. We'll see.

JRA was formed by two knuckleheads that have known each other since attending high school together in Upstate New York during the early to mid 80's.

One of us has written, played and recorded since the 80's, while the other sat on his ass for 35 years before eventually giving the guitar a serious (sic) go. We also recruited the best looking and smartest drummer from our graduating class.

If you suspect any of our songs were written about you, we would need to point out how vain you must be.

Hi Jack Ruby's Alibi, I love your eyes, I know they can stare through my thoughts. So charmingly silky, your skin is like a teardrop on a popsickle. Come, let me suckle your fingers that I may absorb and lose myself in the wise and beautiful starlight that is you. What wonderful vibrations you are capable of. Your tears evoke a taste as memorable as honey. If I could have just one wish, it would be to wake up to your songs in the morning. I relentlessly desire cotton candy lollipops. How can I help but use your eyes as a means for self-asphyxiation? I find your eyes to be a wondrous amusement park filled with neo-plastic pleasures and turkish delights. The elves that play in the toasters wash their drum sticks in honey and sing strikingly colored anthems in perfect harmonious pleasure. A starfish's lifelong hallucinations of gelatin pools and of actuaries floating upon the foam and reciprocal ohm. The stickers hugging the fruit smell better than the perfume of ambergris. The skin I shed is a perfume that makes water bubbles so terribly clear to me.

Thanks Furious. That was me as producer but you shouldn't poo-poo the sound you have on your Corporate Hacks record. I think that's a far more honest sound than any fancy-shmancy studio. In fact, if you look at the best records in history, most make an attempt to emulate a live sound. Corporate Hacks does that, I feel.
