Jesus Fucking Christ was formed shortly after the demise of Deadly Weapons. Larry Rickets decided to find the best punk rock musicians he knew in the bay area. First, with a little coercing he convinced Jamie (of Pitch Black fame) to join on drums. Secondly they hounded Dave Ed (of Neurosis fame) to join on bass. Jesus Fucking Christ is described as tough straight ahead old school punk, but there is also slight elements of Negative Approach style hardcore, and Accused style metal riffing. They have recorded and released a full length album on Inimical Records from Seattle. Jesus Fucking Christ just completed a successfull and amazing tour of Europe. Last August Jesus Fucking Christ recorded their long awaited second full length LP, it will be released in July 2008. They are looking forward to being back in Oakland and playing some more kick ass local and west coast shows.

DARKER, ANGRIER, FASTER, AND HEAVIER!
Oakland California's JESUS FUCKING CHRIST accomplishes all these things on their second full length, LIFE'S HATEFUL SEED
†Building on their Poison Idea meets the Accused sound, JESUS FUCKING CHRIST has added some metallic flourishes with a thicker guitar sound and some intense and heavy mid tempo sections. Dave Ed’s (Neurosis) handled the production in house this time around. Dave's voice is more prominent on many of the tracks, going from backing vocals to a full second vocalist. Larry’s guitar work has only gotten more intense with the addition of occasional frantic punk rock solos throughout the album. Lyrically, the songs lash out at everything from punk scene politics and institutions to co-workers and the city they are from while always remaining firmly in the negative. All in all, this album accomplishes what any excellent second album does: builds and expands on the framework set by the first and never disappoints. Limited to 666 copies, CD out soon.
