The Happy Jerks! - Demo (199?)

Christian Alt. Rock

Demo
199? (no label)

1. Cow Lift
2. Tape Dispenser
3. Pretentious Artists Types Have Invaded My House
4. Shamu the Killer Whale
5. What Will You Do

Many of you probably recognize the name of this band from ACM Journal compilations back in the day, or the split 7-inch they released with Sorrow of Seven. As you can tell by the titles above, the songs are often goofy/quirky songs about random things. Yes, those are songs about an actual cow lift and an actual tape dispenser. Their sound is the quirky, laid back alternative rock you would expect from a band like this. There were many British bands that did something similar back in the day, but not as many American bands. They also have at least one other demo – that one also had no date, so I have no idea if it is earlier or later. All of the songs from this demo are also on that one except for “Shamu,” plus the “Deck the Halls” song from the Sorrow of Seven split and two other songs that I don’t know the name of.(Not my review)

Logos - Sharper Than A Two Edged Sword (1980)

Gene: Christian Rock / Jesus Music
Password: 2021

Fixed link 6/03/21

This five-man Mt. Vernon, Illinois band’s lone album is an above-average blend of rural/country rock sounds with good fuzz/acid electric leads, filled in with piano, electric piano or background synthesizer. The vocals are a wee bit amateurish, but that’s okay given the homemade nature of the project. Somebody obviously thought the phase-shifter was too cool not to use – they end up applying it to the guitar on nearly half the songs. The opening ‘Alone In The City’ and the closing ‘Vision’ are the album’s strongest songs, the latter beginning with an acoustic folk/psych groove with surging organ, then effectively transitioning to a hard-rocking electric riff. A lot of the songs are on the softer melodic side, but still given periodic lifts from the aforementioned phasing or nudged into heavier peaks from the fuzz/electric guitar. Also a couple straightforward easygoing country rockers, balanced with some folky acoustic and/or keyboard ballads. A good and occasionally excellent album. A rare one, since only 100 copies were made. Logos is Greek for “word”.    (The Archivist, 4th edition by Ken Scott).

Tracks:

01. Alone In The City

02. Back To The Garden

03. Why Not Try The Lord

04. Ship Of Life
