\"\"Hollywood Blood Capsules <\/em>CD
\nChoke, 1995<\/p>\n

Two bands in the mid-90s were often described as “The Jesus Lizard<\/strong> with female vocals” and strangely enough:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Both had the word “jack” in their moniker<\/li>\n
  2. Both came from college towns<\/li>\n
  3. Both featured female vocalists with the last name of a U.S. President.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Despite these intriguing similarities, neither really got the attention they deserved outside of their respective hometowns. Considering the novelty and force of each band, it’s puzzling to imagine a time where the output of these groups could be so utterly overlooked and unnoticed. Read more about Athens’ Jack O Nuts<\/a><\/strong> here. Like Jack O Nuts, \u00a0Ann Arbor’s Jaks employed snaky, propulsive bass and tensely clashing minor key guitar shards \u2014 but to a slightly more gnarled degree. And while Jack O Nuts’ Laura Carter had the David Yow-ish howl of a crazy person, the Jaks’ Katrina Ford (who would later go on to Love Life<\/strong> and Celebration<\/strong>) forces the sketchy thrill of a carnival sideshow through a blown-out transistor mic, half rambling, part singing and part screaming. It’s a rambunctiously noisy and fun album with a slight gothic tint. You can find it and their earlier singles collected on the Here Lies the Body of Jaks<\/em> collection released on Three One G.<\/p>\n
