Synopsis

Album Description
New York-based Jesus H Christ and the Four Hornsmen of the Apocalypse are an eight-piece rock/pop/punk/folk/metal/cabaret band. Likened to B-52s meets X-Ray Spex meets Weezer meets Blood Sweat and Tears, the JHC "difference" is horny, thinking-person's, emotionally-bare lyrics protectively cloaked in hard candy pop. All original, stylishly diverse, stick-in-your-head songs about being bicoastal, stealing your boyfriends' Kenneth Anger and Balzac references, compassion fatigue, boobs, Old Lyme, and widower-lust, with roaring guitars and celestial horns. Poignant, laughable, awash in sound and fury, signifying nothing, but saying everything that no one usually dares to say, JHC&TFHotA are really just eager to be held and loved. At which point they'll become distant and forget to buy toilet paper. "Smart, catchy power pop!"- New York Magazine "The musical equivalent to Strangers With Candy!" Time Out New York "Hilarious, nervy and mighty amusing." - The Boston Herald "Hysterical!" - Trouser Press "The most raunchy fun!" - The Boston Globe "Catchier than Chlamydia in a co-ed dorm!" - someone on I Guess I'm Floating JHC set the record for #1 most requested song on Sirius Alt Nation for more weeks than any song ever with their power perv pop "Connecticut's For F*cking!" Other songs on this CD, including Vampire Girls, Happy Me, Obviously, Crazy Guy and It's OK in the USA are playing or charting on: WFMU, KROQ, KPFK, WBRS, KXLU, CFUV, & KRCL, WTJU, WPKN, WNEC, WKDU, WTJU, WRTC, WRQC, WAPS, CJIQ, Z100, Radio Xenu and many other stations.

The Way To Salvation
Keith R. Sawyer | Arlington, MA USA | 12/29/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)

"I have pleasant warm memories of those late 80's/early 90's bands who excelled at intricately humorous songwriting. King Missile, Ween, Fred Lane, Half Japanese ... they weren't afraid to build a song around a rather absurd notion and sprinkle in line after line that made me smile, hence creating years of repeat listening enjoyment. JHC don't try to shift reality Adult Swim style like those aforementioned bands, instead starting with a more grounded presence in the everyday and adding wry observations that make me question our everyday social practices. There are at least a handful of songs on this disc that earn a multitude of listens, and for that I applaud. "Happy Me" is my current favorite, mixing the cultural themes of over-medicating our 'deficiencies' and the seemingly dispassionate yet introspective search for adult companionship. It also has a perfectly executed slow reveal which I promise not to ruin. The more obvious "Connecticut's For F*cking" lives up to the title's promise, especially if you're familiar with America's favourite drive-thru state. "Vampire Girls" and "Nipples" also deal with all-too-real social issues that seem unavoidable in today's narcissistic society. There's a consistent theme at play here, as the lead singer can't quite believe that men are such willing (and easy) targets for females intent on achieving their own goals at the expense of others. That's one lesson I'll take away from this very satisfying creative effort."
