New album: JJ & The Real Jerks || Mess You Up

Ready for some genuine sleazy punkrock-‘n’-roll? Look no further than JJ & The Real Jerks and their latest (and greatest!) LP Mess You Up.

JJ & The Real Jerks are based in LA, but their guitar work is very NYC (Johnny Thunders), and the infectious melodies of the band have quite a bit of ’70s UK punk in them. Put simply: the eight songs on Mess You Up rock as hard as they are contagious. Songs like Dead In The Water, Lost Souls Pub (with some excellent sax work), and Ten Cent Beer Night will lift you up, get your heart racin’, your head boppin, your fist pumpin’ and your feet stompin’.

If there is any knock on Mess You Up is that half on the songs have been previously released on the Ten Cent Beer Night EP (2019). I’m not complaining though, because those songs were excellent and are now finally available in physical format.

Mess You Up is out now through Heavy Medication Record, a Polish label “bringing real rock & roll to earthlings.”
