Do you feel like the whole world is against you? I do/Do you do you feel like everyone wants you to fail? (oh yeah)/Sick and tired of feeling like the odd man out sticking out/You don’t wanna be alone
Come down and join us/have a few pints/the first one's on us/you can be one of us/down at the lost souls pub
Always got someone to talk to when you want to/Always a shoulder to lean on when you need one/misunderstood? came to the right place/You don’t have to try hard to relate
Come down and join us/have a few pints/the first one's on us/We'll never cut you off/down at the lost souls pub
Come down and join us/have a few pints/the first one's on us/there's no last call/down at the lost souls pub
"Wow! They are a great band and a great addition to the Rumbar family." - Medford Jim
"Based in Los Angeles, this band have been around since 2009 and have released various albums and singles on numerous labels. This collection of songs serves as a great introduction to their raucous punk rock’n’roll power pop, presenting insistent tracks from previous albums ‘Mess You Up’ and ‘Back to the Bottom’ and other sources There’s a real swagger to the tunes, hurtling through you Hi-fi with equal parts New York Dolls, MC5, Dead Boys and more than a fewhints of Turbonegro (‘Apocalypse Dudes’ era) along the way. If this sampler doesn’t pique your interest in this band, then you just haven’t been listening properly. Scrub out your ears and play it louder. No excuses, play it again and love it to death!" - Fear And Loathing
This is one fun, swaggering garage-punk introduction and retrospective audio taster. Featuring tracks from JJ & The Real Jerks previous released titles. Featuring tracks from Mess You Up (Heavy Medication/RnR Manifesto), Back To The Bottom (Dead Beat), and other washed ashore unearthed swaggering shots...
Crank it up, come on down and join us, have a few pints the first one's on us. as we get psyched, revved up and ready to hop aboard and hitch a ride with JJ & The Real Jerks forthcoming, highly anticipated... Rat Beach. Beach Drive July 2023 Digital and Rum Bar Deluxe Edition CD.
For those late to the party, L.A.’s JJ & The Real Jerks have been kicking around since 2009, bashing out a handful of singles, e.p.’s and full-length platters for labels like Dead Beat, Rock N' Roll Manifesto, Stamp Out Disco, Heavy Medication, and Pat Todd’s Rankoutsider Records.
Steeped in boozy swagger and Stonesy git-down, Joe “JJ” Jennings and company mix their Johnny Thunders with SoCal punk’n’roll from the glory days of The Humpers and The Dragons and add a spritz of Buzzcocks’ melodic attack. They come blazing out of the gate with dual-guitar overdrive and thrashing rhythms, segue into hooky-as-hell barstool anthems, then celebrate the miracle of life with uplifting swagger infused rock n' roll ditties..

My favorite. Made me think of him and his brother the late, great Joey Ramone and their relationship.
Across the album, a solid piece of musical craftsmanship from all the band. Carbona Ramona
