   About J Church

J Church has been a band for over 10 years now going from Bay Area punk to proto-Emo to lo-fi experimental to cult status in 2000+. Our music is hard to put in a nutshell as it changes from year to year. We've got upbeat punk songs, fast hardcore songs, improvised experimental music, 4-track garage, lo-fi acoustic, country, noise... there's been a lot of stuff and it's been documented in six official full length releases (a seventh just finished) and a myriad of extra-curricular releases. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the past, the band has recorded for Allied Recordings (Nausea, Radon, etc.), Broken Rekids (The Gits, Songs for Emma, the Tyrades), Jade Tree (Promise Ring, Lifetime), Snuffy Smiles (Minority Blues Band, I Excuse), Rugger Bugger (Thatcher on Acid, Zounds, the Mob), Damaged Goods (Thee Headcoats, Thee Headcoatees, Snivelling Shits, Adam and the Ants), Honey Bear (VSS, Unwound, Young Ginns), Startreck (Refused, Loose Goats), Au Go Go (Blues Explosion, Free Kitten), Helter Skelter (Rocket From The Crypt), Vagrant (Get-Up Kids, The Anniversary), Honest Don's (The Riverdales, The Muffs, Citizen Fish, Nerf Herder) and many more. We now live at No Idea Records. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the past we've shared the stage with Jawbreaker, Unwound, Bis, Cornershop, Supergrass, Snuff, Dismemberment Plan, Radio 4, Propagandhi, Avail, Fabulous Disaster, Leatherface, Hot Water Music, From Ashes Rise, Rainer Maria, The Plungers, Spitboy, Green Day, Seam, Superchunk, Signal Lost, Alice Donut, Steel Pole Bath Tub, the Bevis Frond, Flying Saucer Attack, Refused, Mates of State, Rocket From The Crypt, Wool, Drive Like Jehu, the Didjits, Pegboy, Hemlock, the Red Aunts, Money Mark, Shiner, the Warmers, Cupid Car Club, Huggy Bear, Delta 72, the Dickies, Mr. T Experience, John Henry West, and loads more.
