Drive Like Jehu "Yank Crime" (1994)
Drive Like Jehu was formed following the dissolution of Jehu's member's
previous bands Pitchfork and Night Soil Man. Guitarist/singer John
Reis also formed the horn-backed rollocking rock band Rocket from the
Crypt (more on them in a future post).
This the second of Jehu's two albums and it is a whirlwind of guitars. Pounding out riffs with hardcore intensity, but with quick rhythm and
timing changes overlaid with screamed vocals that makes this seem like a
blueprint for early Dillinger Escape Plan, but unfortunately probably
also egged on a few of the emo and screamo bands in the 00s.
The group broke up after this and the band members went onto other individual artistic pursuits.
