Pissed Jeans Artist Snapshot:

Matt Korvette (vocals) and Bradley Fry (guitars) both led a dual life in Allentown, Pennsylvania. By day, the 20-somethings worked white-collar jobs, but in the evenings, they indulged their wild punk-rock personas in the form of Pissed Jeans, most regularly at the storied area venue Jeff the Pigeon. Childhood friend Dave Rosenstraus (bass) and former Navies stickman Sean McGuiness rounded out the foursome. After a couple of independent releases and 7-inches, their noisy, post-punk racket and notoriously wild stage antics caught the attention of iconic alternative label Sup Pop, which distributed a single by the group in 2006, followed by 2007's full-length, HOPE FOR MEN.

Review

Rolling Stone (p.98) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "This music is incredibly violent, yet unimpeachably cheery....So many bands try to nail this sound, and so few get close, but the Jeans are absolutely prime."
Spin (p.102) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "[B]lown-amp sludge punk....Matt Korvette's hotfoot howl stays safely buried under landfills of guitar grumble and bar-fight drum pound..."
Uncut (p.106) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[B]eneath their noisy surface lurk subtleties of expression great ideas."
Alternative Press (p.174) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Equal parts aggressive, discordant and experimental, the 10 hypnotic tracks on HOPE FOR MEN are equally reminiscent of Black Flag, Sonic Youth and the Jesus Lizard..."
Magnet (p.119) - "'People Person' opens with Fry wringing sounds out of his guitar that could only be replicated by throwing a metal trash can from a 20th-story window....Korvette spews bile in an atonal rant that would make the Jesus Lizard's David Yow green with envy."

Title Note

While the Allentown, Pennsylvania, noisecore act Pissed Jeans could be tagged as nothing more than a bunch of knuckle-headed dudes screaming at the system, to do so would be to underestimate a band with considerable smarts, twisted though they may be. The Jeans' sound owes a considerable debt to the screeching metallic punk of various AmRep and early Touch & Go acts, as well as vintage Black Flag, and lyrically the Jeans spew a similar frustrated, whiteman-blues bile. The band's targets, however, are unique to new-millennium America: latte-sipping, iPod-sporting liberals are just as guilty for our horrible consumerism-as-Ritalin malaise as churchgoing Bushies. Our world is bloated, ugly, and bursting at the seams with disposable everything, sayeth the Jeans. And HOPE FOR MEN is the beautifully wretched sound of the inevitable pop.
