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.

NOTHING |
|
| As most of you know, I've been pretty sick lately. I've been in the hospital for a couple of weeks and I'm in recovery for the next few weeks. As a result, we've had to cancel the upcoming gigs we had... Posted by J Church on Tue, 02 Oct 2007 02:49:00 PST |

QUESTION 3: What do you do outside of the band? |
|
| I've done a lot of different things since the band started. At first I was an organizer for the Committee For A SANE Nuclear Policy which became SANE/Freeze. I worked for the N.O.W. I worked for Rough... Posted by J Church on Thu, 06 Sep 2007 01:30:00 PST |

QUESTION 2 |
|
| QUESTION 2: How does J Church compare to Cringer?That first question and answer seemed suitably boring, so I guess there's no holding back on the mundane information. If people ask I assume somebody o... Posted by J Church on Tue, 04 Sep 2007 01:01:00 PST |

INTERVIEWS |
|
| We don't do nearly as many interviews as we used to. I guess that's because of a lot of reasons. First of all, in 1997 we were a much more popular group, so there were a lot more people wanting to tal... Posted by J Church on Tue, 04 Sep 2007 10:45:00 PST |

SELLING STUFF |

STUPID QUESTION |
|
| So, I have some J Church footage on VHS and was thinking of putting it on-line. I guess I need to convert it to MPEGs. Here's my question:How do I do that?Keep in mind, I have no idea what I'm doing. ... Posted by J Church on Sat, 25 Aug 2007 07:03:00 PST |

INFLUENCES: The Damned |
|
| I don't know why it's so fashionable to slag off the Damned these days. They were at least as popular as the Clash and the Pistols for a while. I think their first LP holds up the best. I actually bou... Posted by J Church on Fri, 24 Aug 2007 01:38:00 PST |
