Death Threat Cassette – Clean Meat Never Fattened a Pig
Jason’s Jukebox is kicking of 2023’s reviews with an old favorite – England’s Death Threat Cassette. A DIY homespun “group” that is one of my all-time favorites, for the last decade or so. Lee Pecqueur is the genius behind DTC and his quality control is impeccable....

Favorite Records of 2014
Another year gone by, another year in music to review. For me personally, it was a strange year in music. I found myself listening to unsigned / self released artists more often than some of the mainstream artists that I love so much. 2 Neil Young records - the 1st...
Sun Kil Moon – The Possum
Mark Kozelek is the most unlikely polarizing figure of 2014. A pioneer in the slowcore movement with the incredible Red House Painters in the late 80's through early 00's, he continued exploring that sound with Sun Kil Moon and solo releases post 2001. The use of...

Soup – Album

Live – The Turn
The summer of 1995 represented my 1st taste of adult freedom. High school in the rear view mirror and higher education still in the future, it truly felt like there were endless possibilities. My best friend and I ventured out to Hershey, PA to catch what was being...

The Lost Patrol – Chasing Shadows
It's been about 18 months since we last heard from New York City's The Lost Patrol. 2013's Driven was a masterful record, indebted to 80's post-punk with a side of noir. It was one of my favorite records of 2013 and I was curious about how the band would follow it up....
