Artist description Multi-textured pop vocals with the perfect combination of attitude and melody over a unique blend of old-school funk/discoesque grooves and hybrid heavy metal/funk guitars with a slight industrial edge. The thing that makes Jam Pain Society both unique AND accessible is their ability to extract the absolute essence of their influences and tastefully blend them all together to create something refreshingly different. Their huge live show has been acclaimed by critics as quite a spectacle. Lots of energy. Lots of dancing. Total ear candy and eye candy with just the right amount of integrity.

Press Reviews The Independent Weekly's 1999 Rock 'N' Roll Quarterly: "Jam Pain Society at its most verbose employs a bevy of textured sounds that blasts the senses from all sides. But the power is always tempered with a poppiness that makes the music stick in your head and not just go through it." ~ Spectator Magazine: "We’re talking White Zombie doing the soundtrack to 'Dazed and Confused'." ~ www.TalkMusic.com: "Jam Pain Society is mixing expert musicianship with tracks that flat out jam."
