Artist description Reprinted with permission from "Run, run while you can!: A JARED discography".While Central America has seen more than its share of atrocities in recent years; never before has a lovely Guatemalan folk song been brutalized as thoroughly as by the vocal stylings of JARED, the Head of Security at FREEVERSE SOFTWARE. Like an angry Immigration officer, Jared's distinctive rendition grabs us, slaps us around, threatens to cavity search us and ultimately demands our passport be issued from that same circle of hell from which his voice originates.Never has the mating of cats sounded so melodic as after one has listened to "El Carnicero de Canciones," the "Butcher of Songs," as Jared was known in Guatemala. Yet, this is perhaps the worst part; one is somehow drawn to his song, playing it over and over again. So listen to JARED, and suffer -- for this is art.

Music Style Slaughtering vocals with trance-like guitar.

Similar Artists Anyone without a sense of tone.

There's something sickeningly hypnotic about this piece."--WIRED magazine (5/97) "You know how when you hear an accident happen outside your house/apartment/hut/dorm room/jail cell, you run right out and uncontrollably stare at the damage as time seems to stand still? Well, it's kind of like that."--MacAddict magazine (10/97)"Jared has charmed thousands of surfers with its hilariously painful rendition of a Guatemalan folk song."--Time Digital (11/97)1996 Software Product of the Year at the MTV Helpdesk
