Philadelphia noise rockers' incisive fifth album« Punk mavericks, capable of wreaking havoc in just three minutes with an explosiveness they've mastered to perfection » LES INROCKSHailing from Philadelphia, Pissed Jeans have been delivering great sound for 13 years. And for their fifth album, Why Love Now, the four Americans turn this sound into a weapon to target all the uninteresting elements of modern life.The meeting point between sludge, punk, noise, and the band's sharp wit - Matt Kurvette (vocals), Brad Fry (guitar), Randy Huth (bass), and Sean McGuiness (drums) - creates this unique outlet for catharsis against the absurdity of the world, characteristic of Pissed Jeans.As they did for their last album Honeys in 2013, Pissed Jeans offer in Why Love Now a series of "fuck that shit" type songs about the world of work, with the severe 'Worldwide Marine Asset Financial Analyst' replacing lengthy job titles with gnashing punk refrains, or 'Have You Ever Been Furniture' which raises a fist for all those whose job descriptions can be summed up by the phrase "degrading employment."To produce Why Love Now, No Wave icon Lydia Lunch settled in Philadelphia alongside metal legend Arthur Rizk (Eternal Champion, Goat Semen). The combination of Lunch's spiritual guidance and Rizk's technical prowess was a success, and Why Love Now is an encounter with Pissed Jeans at the top of their game.For those who like: The Jesus Lizard, Mudhoney, Tad, Black Flag, Metz, Shellac...
