“Can we please leave politics out of metal, punk-“

NO!

these genres LITERALLY formed from resisting the mainstream culture. They’re existence is quite literally all about taking a stance against the very politics that hurt marginalized people.

…. But you don’t wanna hear it. We can tell by THE WAY YOU TUNE IT OUT!!!

😤

My name is JER, and this is the second single off my record 💔Death of the Heart💔 a record about living through our current political climate, resisting the inhumanity that’s normalized by our society, and learning to process these feelings in a healthy way and move forward holding compassion in our hearts. Because compassion and understanding is one of the most punk things you can do in a society fueled by hatred and moral apathy.

Death of the heart is now streaming everywhere, and you can buy it on vinyl or CD if that’s your thing 🙂‍↕️

STREAM "I'D LIKE TO BE BETTER"      

[jer-band]

It’s finally out! My second full length record, DEATH OF THE HEART!!!

This record is super important to me, a lot of feelings on the state of the world, and processing them in a way where we don’t get consumed by the despair OR become products of the very system we are trying to dismantle. Lets take a spin on compassion before alienation, let yr heart grow 🖤🖤🖤

Big thank you to the studio JER band. We tracked this record (semi) live, with the rhythm section and saxophone recording live together. Then we tracked horns together, then dubbed a bunch over. The life that these songs have come from the talents of the studio JER band

JER on Vocals, Bass, Trombone, Additional Guitar, Additional Keys

Em on Tenor Sax, Bari Sax, Vocals

Esteban on Keys, Percussion, Additional Guitar

Ricky on Guitar

Woody on Drums

Additional musical performances by ThatDjVega (track 5), Linqua Franqa (Track 6), Adam D (Track 8), and Candice Maritato (Track 14)

The photography behind this record was by Rae Mystic, who has captured the energy and love of this band on the stage, in the studio, and many moments in between. The design of the record was by RB Roe, who did an incredible job capturing my vision for this record

And thank you to Jack Shirley, at the Atomic Garden for engineering this record, and Mike Sosinski at Bad Time Records for helping me share this record with the world. There’s so many other amazing people I can thank. Friends inspire me and motivate me. Many of y’all who show up for me, wether it’s at shows or in the comment section. Any amount of support for this thing I do is hella appreciated🖤🖤🖤

Nothing but love for the support. Thank you🖤
