50% of Fugazi + Anthony Piroj, aka The Messthetics teams up with JB Lewis to create this very accessible work brewing well-seasoned post punk in a contemporary jazz syntax. Impulse! to release an album with two Fugazi guys surprises a many. Who would imagine American jazz in 2024 would see such line-up?
 
Jazz, other than being rebel music in its early days, is always meant to be expansive and elastic. This album celebrates two genre that carried despicable starts. Improvization from jazz challenged music rooted in orchestrated structures. Post punk was alienated by fans of the Clash and Ramones.
 
The prolific JB Lewis continues to make his presence felt across genre in the American music scene, from his free jazz quintet Red Lily to his avant garde jazz collaboration with drummer Chad Taylor. He makes sure traditions are bound to be broken, standing out from his American peers as a jazz musician who strives to break new grounds as much as celebrate the traditions.
