jena berlin: General Info

Member Since	6/20/2004
Band Website	www.jenaberlin.com
Influences	"The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side." –Hunter S. Thompson
Sounds Like	4.5/5.0 Casey Lynch - ALTERNATIVE PRESS: The last post-hardcore record you'll ever need: You can keep your MacKaye, Bixler-Zavala and Ragan/Wollard combo. For our money, Jena Berlin are the latest final word in post-post whatsit bands, period. Sure, the Philly quintet owe a debt to the aforementioned dudes, but let's give credit where credit is due: Our old fave post-hardcore bands left the design for anyone to build upon; Jena Berlin just picked up the pieces better than anyone else. There is a mania-inducing abandon underwriting the 11 tracks, all of which seem to leap from an era when bands like Quicksand and Seaweed dominated our cassette players. Singer Jon Loudon breaks the post-post rules and actually sings, and the band display a particularly off-kilter knack for mixing writhing melodies with riotous clamor ("Motion Sickness"), improving upon the heroes of yore exponentionally ("I Swear We're Leaving"). Just try to get this out of our CD player, we dare you. VISIT OUR WEBSTORE!
Record Label	Jump Start Records (USA), Asscard Records (Europe)
Type of Label	Indie

About jena berlin

We are still a band but not as active as we were before. Working on new projects, living in different states, and doing "home/work" things is what we are tied up with. We are still open to the idea of coming to your town to play so still message us for shows or email us at jenaberlinrock@hotmail.com. Much Love -J/B
