Sounds Like: For some misguided reason we also have our own JRA site. We might maintain that regularly in the future, but since Myspace is where all the predators hang out we figured we might as well too.
We have numerous sweet sounds, but none of them are professional.
Critics, friends, relatives and major psycho fans have used the following to describe JRA: Derivative, hacks, weak!, drunk, stormy, mediocre, pissy, rockin', inspired, stale, edgy, cliched, poppy, middle aged or older, sorta folky, blues houndish, lacking, hip-shaking, obviously on drugs, punk with a little twist 'o' soul, smart, snappy, insightful, ploddish, grassy knoll-ish, immature, heartfelt, dumb, loud (but caring and sensitive), fast, sloppy, knee-slappin', groovy, gorgeous, blazing, LOL!, raw, roaring, tight, mid-tempo, boring, remorseful, improvisational, limited and deranged.
We're not gonna set the world on fire with fresh new sounds that've never been heard before, but we're having fun. Well, at least some of us are.
We were gonna call the band "Big Al's Global Warming", but we are much too mature to pull a stunt like that.
Type of Label: Major
