Drive Like Jehu "If It Kills You"

[@theartofgregoryevans]

The early 90s in San Diego was brightened up because of these boyz. Seeing them set with 20, 30, maybe 50 people thier first two years, I'll never forget them ❤

[@mroc7113]

Priceless footage . RIP Rick .

[@demonicsweaters]

I saw these guys around this time at Maxwell's in Hoboken NJ. The amazing thing is that squeal sound is not an FX, John Reese could do that with just his Les Paul and a Marshall amp. He had the front panel taken off so the tubes were exposed and he would press his pickup right up to the tubes and it would do that insane squealing. Definitely one of the most intense shows I saw as a young lad.

[@uncooldispatch5438]

Awesome!!! 🙌🙌🙌🙏🙏🙏

[@uncooldispatch5438]

The squeal is so gnarly !!

[@ryanh206]

this band is inspired - their first album never gets old

[@xeroxbarber]

I'm not a big fan of hardcore or post-hardcore, whatever you wanna call it, but these guys just do it right. I especially like their guitar work.

[@FreeAndEasyTraveler]

this is one of my favorite songs ever.

[@Beasley521]

this song still gives me chills at parts.

[@MEATFACEFILMS]

what about now?

[@Beasley521]

@@MEATFACEFILMS I meant douche chills.

[@johnkinses786]

RIP Rick Froberg

[@хаткайоги-з2г]

Обожаю, лучшие, мастера!

[@uN00b]

In case anyone was in doubt, Mark Trombino rules the known universe.

[@snewso]

just now started listenin to this band but so far this is my favorite track.

[@jasonf90]

Incredible. RIP Rick, you were awesome

[@punkrockval]

Just saw this in Undergeound Inc and had to find this! 🤘🏻

[@sordidsentinel1337]

i wish i could rock that hard all the time.

[@sonikopixies]

Love this one. Honestly

[@triiiangle]

This is awesome. Thanks for posting it, gitty! I lived in San Diego from 1992-1996, and saw them play four shows in the SD area. Best live band ever.

[@DailyBrusher]

My old band had to follow them one night... we weren't terrible, but the comparison wasn't very kind to US!

[@StuccoMonstrosity]

agreed! i wish i was older then i might have got the chance to see them before they stopped.

[@duhduhduhda]

first heard this cd in early 2004 haven't put it down since such a classic album.....such a classic band i like the song golden brown too

[@girlfromipanema3231]

good shit.

[@jaydischord]

Great stuff....loved Pitchfork too....was lucky enough to see Jehu a few times in the UK years back...cheers for the post matey!

[@noknife83]

i envy you so much, i've been looking for that album forever...and i live in san diego, so you'd think i'd be able to locate it. but not yet...cheers to good music

[@DJMarcO138]

Thanks for posting!!!! I love just about anything that Reis and Froburg have touched, and Drive Like Jehu was the 1st band they did (besides Pitchfork of course) that really caught my attention in this genre. Brilliant.

[@greffe]

Wow. This just couldn't be better. Thanks so much for posting it, with such good quality and an amazing performance. It takes the edge off my regret at not being there (even if the show was a few years before my time).

[@tubberputty]

The singer has come a long way since childhood. He gets paid to throw tantrums now. Progress.

[@awn0]

my god, thank you for posting this, this is legendary.

[@urbancityartist]

dude this band kicks ass...i loved hot snakes so i figured i'd check these dudes out..and there pretty much everything i hoped for lol

[@wisterV]

The singers' new band 'The Obits" has a great album on subpop, it's titled 'I blame you'.

[@nightmuffin937]

Best Screamo Song OF ALL!

[@MarkAlexander-o2e]

RIP Rick

[@spineboy]

Sure - you can buy at least 2 Drive like Jehu CD's, and if you do , you'll play them everyday for a year - they're that good.

[@eversincealways]

Still amazing.

[@gittty]

doesn't it just give you chills?

[@awn0]

jesus christ, so much emotion, i feel like im getting skullfucked by the noise, and im loving every second of it. can only imagine what it would be like to be there.

[@za7ch]

Power. Pure.

[@polepino]

please put up more

[@liesandliars]

he takes the head apart and reverses everything.

[@atomjack]

I approve.

[@hotmetaldobermans]

this is like, the coolest fucking thing i've ever seen.

[@duhduhduhda]

@gittty no i havent send me a link! and if you have any insights about this kind of music let me know i am always interested in hearing new music!!

[@Brunohasuhuaish]

REAL EMOCORE !

[@A.Undead.1]

hah, love the guy in the first row plugging his ears and dancing.

[@gittty]

Also check out the other Jehu videos, they are even better, and if you dont know, Hot Snakes are the same two guys up front, John and Rick. There are videos for them as well. Enjoy.

[@hogffej]

Wow,

[@hansdado]

yeSS they sing songs

[@inflikkt]

good energy

[@blimey420]

f*cking unbelievable! i'm pretty sure JReis uses a Maestro pedal, not a theramin to get that crazy chirping sound..

[@afroXcore]

Reis has a theremin? how cool is that!

[@rockaction9]

its either feedback or an e-bow

[@GenteelCretin]

John's in Night Marchers now and Rick's in Obits.

[@Spaceghostoast]

Nice

[@MrCrim123]

@Halfbloodangelprince taking the rawness out of music is a big reason why a lot of modern music sucks.

[@afroXcore]

i have to try that then

[@gittty]

yes you can find thier records as well as Hot Snakes and more at swamirecords dot com

[@daveEmartin]

Classic Reis Churpy feeback.

[@uncooldispatch5438]

🙌🙌🙌🤟🤟🤟🙏🙏🙏🔥🔥🔥

[@gittty]

@duhduhduhda i haven't put it down either, did u see the golden brown vid?

[@emptyheadbrokenbones]

yeah! how did they get that laser-beam sound?

[@likkleting]

reis in shorts!

[@Xetrof]

@pinkpop91764 considering they were around before ATDI, it really shouldn't.

[@blastingcaps]

@padlamoij Thanks mom.

[@Brunohasuhuaish]

@CrazyShaolinWarrior You know the origins of emo?

[@dblazer321]

cameras were bad in the 90s

[@takaharu999]

👊😬👍

[@jamegumm]

take the guitar head and press it against the cabinet. The gain on the amp has to be very high though....

[@actionjessie]

To me this is the U.S getting punk right. When I think US punk I think Unwritten Law ,Pennywise, Cali Punk stuff, but to me this is true punk. Raw and honest music.

[@ChristBurner]

@dblazer321 BAD ASS!! hahaha

[@SkullLikeASecret]

@duhduhduhda shit a little late. But I guess a little later than never.

[@mondebeau]

haha it's "Obits" not "the obits"... :D yes, great album indeed.

[@aidanflaherty3813]

They were more punk than they were emo

[@CrazyShaolinWarrior]

@Brunohasuhuaish What ? LOL

[@NebKcilles]

Hey Everyone, this is the type of shit you write when you're getting old.

[@0class]

Yea, no shit.

[@ccivinski]

Actually, "mister", this is how you hurry up and throw an album out, i like this guys sound, but it's just mashed up and really rushed. If you know where to search you will find some real modern music masterpieces that really had some thought in to it.
