Bio
JERKAGRAM consists of a duo of brothers from Connecticut. After about two years of touring and idea-concocting, they have released their debut record, "We've Only Come to Leave," which can be picked up digitally on iTunes, Amazon MP3, and Bandcamp, or physically through the band members themselves. As of yet unsigned, the band is known for energetic and immersive live shows, and their wide variety of influences shows in their sound, which can be meditative, ambient, and lush one moment, and frenetic, free, and heavy the next. Instrumental with tinges of improvisation, Jerkagram is certainly a fairly unique experience and commits to an honest sound and a love of energetic creation. -

Bio:
....
We're a band of many influences from Connecticut. We do a lot of loosely improvised heavy psych stuff with krautrock, post-rock, free jazz, and noise bursts for good measure. We're looking to play as many local and house shows as possible and collaborate with as many musicians as we can. For any inquiries, including booking, feel free to send us a message through the site, or email conncet9@gmail.com for more personal adventures. We're also totally into housing and feeding other touring bands who come through the Connecticut area. We're working on material for a record, and we'll have more live videos up on the site soon.
How random people have been describing us:
"Two-piece Jerkagram cascades drums through unlikely patterns—a cymbal roll where it doesn't belong, a big rock fill where you'd expect nothing—beneath one guitar that favors long tones alternately reflecting Comets on Fire's acid-drenched maximalism and Glenn Branca's stately minimalism." -- IndyWeek.com
"Jerkagram is a noisy and reactionary improv/psych-rock outfit from Connecticut that bashes out aggressive and ramshackle art-rock clusters of rhythm and dirge." -- EyeDrum
"Last up to destroy the mind was the diabolical duo, Jerkagram. Like Talibam! and Weasel they had a drummer who literally attacks the drums and does not hold back. They ripped it up with a sizzling instrumental, improvised set with guitar injections creating a jazz-rock blow out!" -- WaylonHatchet.com

TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT SPEAKING OUT ...
"First they came for the COMMUNISTS, and
I did not SPEAK OUT -- because I was NOT A COMMUNIST;
Then they came for the SOCIALISTS, and
I did not SPEAK OUT - because I was NOT A SOCIALIST;
Then they came for the TRADE UNIONISTS, and
I did not SPEAK OUT - because I was NOT A TRADE UNIONIST
Then they came for the JEWS, and
I did not SPEAK OUT - because I was NOT A JEW;
Then they CAME FOR ME - and
there was NO ONE LEFT TO SPEAK OUT FOR ME."
~ Pastor Martin Niemoller - A prisoner at the Dachau

STAND UP AND SPEAK OUT! DON'T EVER LET
THE VOICE OF FREEDOM BE SILENCED!

What Becomes of the BROKEN HEARTED Jerkagram?
I AM RECORDING A NEW ALBUM THIS SUMMER - WATCH FOR IT @ www.RichardHarrisLive.com
TODAY'S THOUGHT IS HOW TO MEND A BROKEN HEART ...
"I can think of younger days when living for my life
Was everything a man could want to do
I could never see TOMORROW,
but I was never told about the SORROW
And how can you mend a BROKEN HEART?
How can you stop the RAIN from falling down?
How can you stop the SUN from SHINING?
What makes the world go round?
How can you mend this BROKEN MAN?
How can a LOSER ever WIN?
Please help me mend my BROKEN HEART
and let me LIVE AGAIN."
~ Barry and Robin Gibb
YOU WILL NEVER KNOW TRUE HAPPINESS UNTIL
YOU HAVE TRULY LOVED, AND YOU WILL NEVER

Sending SUNDAY LOVE Jerkagram!
TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT THE SOUL ...
"TRUE INTIMACY is the opening of ONE SOUL to
another. No GIFT ON EARTH could COMPARE with it,
for it TOUCHES US MORE PROFOUNDLY than our
imagination can envision. When two people SHARE
THEIR LIVES, FREELY, OPENLY, WITHOUT
RESERVATION, it is as if EACH had BECOME
COMPLETE ..."

Tears are the unspoken language of the HEART Jerkagram!
TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT TEARS ...
"TEARS speak MORE ELOQUENTLY than 10,000 tongues,
MESSENGERS of OVERWHELMING GRIEF

TEARS FALL BECAUSE THE HEART CAN NO LONGER HANDLE THE PAIN.
