In a recent interview the guitarist for Jejune (who ironically has the last name Guevara) said many of the people in the san diego scene had political motivations, as well as people in bands they'd meet on tour. He said in the interview that the lead vocalist in the band was the more politically motivated member, he gave her practicing vegetarianism or veganism at the time as an example, I think is what was said. Some bands on the Che Fest 1999 compilation did have roots in more political bands like Bread and CIrcuits and Struggle, such as the band Yaphet Kotto (which is also politically charged). Guevara in the interview said Jejune wasn't really a political endeavor, and it actually began as a recording project for the lead singer's classes at Berkley (i think it is a music school.) so tracks like those on Junk are from that era, and touring was done moreso to get the complete experience... later on band had differences and the original purpose and secondary purpose were served, eventually they parted ways and Guevara claims theres basically a nonexistent chance at a reunion bc little to no interest in the style of music in former members, though Guevara was still in San Diego until pretty recently, if not now.

just found this I’m in love

@@steez.y thats whats up! check out Ito Project

I’m guess “Picogrim” might have been an old project from Qubinoix’s lead singer/guitarist, Ichimaki. I could be wrong though.
