Episode 61: Drive Like Jehu

This week we’re discussing the powerful Drive Like Jehu. Made up of members of Rocket from the Crypt, Pitchfork, Hot Snakes, and Obits, Drive Like Jehu helped perfect an extremely complex brand of noise rock. These guys were phenomenal musicians who managed to make complicated song structures accessible enough for anyone. While they only have two albums, their influence is abundant and obvious. Everyone wanted to sound like these guys, but very few came close.

Closing track: “Do You Compute?” from Yank Crime (1994)
