Or perhaps all the accurate but dismissive fanzine reviews describing them as a Jesus Lizard with a female singer didn&#8217;t appeal to the unwashed, male-centric indie masses who were still dealing with the Riot Grrl backlash. Whatever the reason, it&#8217;s a damn pity because they definitely had a unique take on the tense, mangled-but-regimented sound that cropped up in the 1990s underground. The good news is that their two LPs are relatively easy to find, so if you dig this great single \u2014 which includes a solid <strong>Bauhaus<\/strong> cover \u2014 you can easily score some more Jack O Nuts.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DOWNLOAD<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/2.dougkubert.com\/media\/JackONuts-RawCandleVote.mp3\">Jack O Nuts &#8211; &#8220;Raw Candle Vote&#8221;<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/2.dougkubert.com\/media\/JackONuts-AntoninArtaud.mp3\"> Jack O Nuts &#8211; &#8220;Antonin Artaud&#8221; (Bauhaus)<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>LINKS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.builtonaweakspot.com\/2008\/04\/jackonuts.html\">Jack O Nuts on Built on A Weak Spot<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/beyondfailure.blogspot.com\/2009\/10\/jack-o-nuts-la-horne-7-featuring-chris.html\">Jack O Nuts on Beyond Failure<\/a><\/p>\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Raw Candle Vote \/ Antonin Artaud 7&#8243; Radial Records, 1993 A number of factors may explain why this Athens postpunk outfit never got the respect they deserve.
