About Me

Jesus With Me played heavy'n'noisy psychedelic freakout rock in NYC between 1998 and 2003, opening for Acid Mothers Temple, No Neck Blues Band, Sightings, Endless Boogie, and other bands. *** Jesus With Me discography: Jesus With Me "Jesus With Me" CD (2005, Psycho-Path Records) *** Jesus With Me "White Earth/Acid Eagle" CDR (2002/2007, Psycho-Path) *** Jesus With Me "Live 2002-2003" CDR (2007, Psycho-Path)*** Jesus With Me "Studio 2001-2004" CDR (2007, Psycho-Path)*** Jesus With Me "Live 2002-2003" DVDR (2007, Psycho-Path) *** JWM-related: Holy Spirit "Live 2005-2006" CDR (2007, Psycho-Path) *** JWM-related: Old Believers "Studio 2006-2007" CDR (2007, Psycho-Path).These are the sounds of dirty, thick, greasy, and long freak-hippie hair that is not retro but MODERN. These are the sounds of the modern Russian occupation of Coney Island and antique, glass smoking-filters, which can only mean ONE fucking thing, correct? Yes. Tear it apart! That one organic, earthen thing is Jesus With me -- the mad Russian psych-jammers from New York who have finally released an actual record, and it goes by the name of self-titled! Shit! Thats cool because the titles of the two (long, long, long) songs are top-shelf: "Silence In The Space of Half An Hour" and "And They Sang a New Song". Neither one is silent, and both, in totality, is close to three hours long and, in totality, feels like a three-hour long introduction-only to a free-form power-trio feedback-fucking psychedelic inner-mental suck-off. The guitarists are two real nasty, endlessly roaming distorto-slasher ghouls while the bottom -- the bass and drums --are given a total Peter Green End of the Game heavy-n-nervous power-thump treatment. This is as good as any and all Guru Guru and Monoshock and Brainbombs and Woozlebug and every other headphone-friendly groove that is as rich as the most fertile and most deliciously moist soil on our wonderful planet. So, lets keep our planet that way (Quantum Noise Review). I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4Jesus With Me cds/cdrs and other Psycho-Path releases can be ordered here - email.

Sounds Like: "Somewhere in the late 90’s 4 Russians met in NYC and formed this jam group for the higher spirit, following the road and/or spirits of Amon Düül I, Faust, High Rise, Keiji Haino and Ya Ho Wha 13. And the music indeed has the mad fuzz, bass, noise wall psychedelic extremeness of some Japanese psych (Acid Temple, High Rise, White Heaven, some of Haino’s groups), and some spiritual musical breakthrough with the music focus of YaHoWha 13, some slightly chaotic trippy patterns of Amon Düül I, mixed with an improvisational focus of the more advanced experimental Kraut in general. The guitars are penetrating in its improvising towards the infinite, with fuzz noise that keeps up the trippy effect, while the bass is almost swimming while moving-mountains-wise, with the drum in a freeformed slamming mania. The music on “Silence in the Space of half an hour” in some way is structured and focused enough to its infinity it really works very well for me. The second track, “And they sang a new song” is even more in the direction of Acid Mother’s Temple, and creates a hypnotic wall drone of a jam, when psychedelic almost becomes like ambient punk. Near the end one of the members starts to scream in outrage. I like these tracks, but I'm not sure how many people would not simply die from a heart-attack when listening. The group called these recordings “a love song”. Be warned". (PSYCHE VAN HET FOLK of www.radiocentraal.be Antwerp)
