We Say...
Prime mover in New York's short-lived but savagely intense and uncompromisingly experimental No Wave scene, Lydia Lunch mounted her first retaliation "against the stagnancy of music and culture" with Teenage Jesus & the Jerks. Bradley Field's minimalist drumming (he played a snare and a cymbal) converges with Jim Sclavunos' bass like a pile-driver to the cranium; Lunch literally scrapes noise from her guitar — she plays slide using glass or knives — while hollering her harrowing dirges of abuse and dread, shrieking like Munch's lady poised over the existential abyss. Stark and stringent, about the only merciful thing about this music is its brevity: these "short, fast soundstabs" average about a minute and a half, meaning that an entire Teenage Jesus set could be over in ten minutes. But if, as Nietzche argued, "beauty is cruelty," then this album is an absolute stunner.

They Say...
Teenage Jesus & the Jerks' Everything is a fine artifact of late-'70s no wave, boasting Lydia Lunch's vicious vocals and wild, atonal playing by the band. This certainly isn't for all tastes, and even fans of hardcore punk may find this a little inaccessible, but it captures the essence of a brief era in post-punk.
“ The indie iTunes — Hardcore music fans are migrating to eMusic, the iTunes Music Store's cheaper, cooler cousin.”
