Jar’d Loose returns with the release of its second album, Turns 13. Produced by Pete Grossman (Harm’s Way, Weekend Nachos) and mastered by Today Is The Day’s Steve Austin (Converge, Unsane, Deadguy), Turns 13 sees the co-ed Chicago quartet perfect its unusual vision of acidic noise-rock, metallic thud, and classic rock sass. The album drops May 27th as a vinyl LP on Threshold of Pain Records, and as a CD and digital download on The Path Less Traveled Records.
From the start, the thing that separated Jar’d Loose from the pack was its ability to be simultaneously so damn catchy and so damn odd. On Turns 13, this duality is taken to new heights. Terrorizer Magazine christened Jar’d Loose’s Goes to Purgatory as “one of the most exciting debuts of the year” in 2012; Turns 13 will no doubt be known as one of 2014’s most daring sophomore jams.
Jar’d Loose is a fixture of the current Chicago scene, wherein Gobbo moonlights as a promoter of local metal and hardcore shows under the name Unholy Empire. Jar’d Loose has torn up Chicago stages with a range of bands that points to the range of styles within itself – from Obituary to Fu Manchu – and has completed several US tours. The band saddles up and hits the road this spring for short tours with Fuck The Facts and The Swan King.
