Chicago upstarts Jar'd Loose announce the release of their debut album, Goes to Purgatory, out July 10 on Cassette Deck Media.
Check out an exclusive stream of Jar'd Loose's "Busted", a track off Goes to Purgatory, posted today on Stereokiller.
From a city of musical innovators, Jar'd Loose present the next chapter in their hometown's history of heaviness. Jar'd Loose's sound is all their own -- thoroughly rocking yet left-of-center, totally new yet aligned with the spirit of their musical ancestors, from The Jesus Lizard to Entombed.
At the core is teeth-clenching momentum -- brutish, hellbound noise-rock driven by Pete and Eva Bialecki's chugging freight train riffs and Phil Hardman's bare bones beats, built for maximum headbanging. Leading the charge is frontman Eddie Gobbo with a voice like no other. Former frontman of The Muzzler, Gobbo holds court with a tormented, raspy punk snarl that's one of a kind -- unhinged and real, spitting lines like "I'd give my right eye / The left one stays with me / I'll take the land of the blind / There I will become king."
Atop this foundation, the band takes startling left turns. Riffs transcend all expectations, making detours into unforeseen realms -- what starts as a fist-banging dirt rock anthem shape-shists into an ebullient refrain or a haunting death rock dirge. It's Jar'd Loose's ability to rock out hellishly then pull the listener into strange new dimensions that makes Goes to Purgatory one of the most exciting debuts to hit the streets this year.
Goes to Purgatory was recorded and mixed by Pete Grossman (Weekend Nachos, Harm's Way) at Bricktop Recording in Chicago, and mastered by Carl Saff (Unsane, Red Fang) at Saff Mastering in Chicago.
The full tracklist is as follows:
1) Last Living Roach
2) Rotten Tooth
3) Appendage
4) Busted
5) Hell's Mothers
6) Right Eye
7) Go Down with You
8) Coming Like a Nightmare
Look for Jar'd Loose on tour throughout 2012.
