26 June 2023
Band: JAPANESE JESUS
Who: 2 Irish mavericks from West Limerick.
Bertie Kelly (Vocals, Guitars, Bass)

Debut EP: DEPRESSION BREAKFAST
Enough decibels to scare Russia the hell
out of Ukraine.
Track-by-track.
– INSIGNIFICANT –
This brutal bulldozing opener sets the tone for the EP. More decibels than your ears can handle at times. Chainsaw guitars and psychotic drumming clash and crash into each other. Industrial havoc bringing metal-punk turbine Al Jourgensen and Ministry to mind.
.
– TENSION –
A merciless sledgehammer doing your head in with its droning drum ferocity,
a bass that’s going in overdrive, schizo guitars and in your face sneers. Wowzers.
.
– EAMON DUNPHY (IS ALWAYS GRAND) –
68 seconds of straightjacket paranoia.
.
– LACTOSE –
Perfect brainbreaker to kick your hangover into oblivion.
.
– DEPRESSION BREAKFAST –
The title track closes this standout EP with a reflective reality check resonating
somehow like slacker expert Dinosaur Jr wrestling between heaven and hell.
