JILL was a pop-punk band, from San Angelo, TX, that was active from the years 1993 - 1997.   They self-released a 4-song cassette that led to Springbox Records (Benecia, CA) “signing” the band, releasing the Scary Thoughts 7” as well as the Just Like Fonzie EP.    They also released a split 7” with New Jersey pop-punk band True Zero, on Coolidge Records, and also had a song included on a 7” compilation released on Act Your Age Records.   Their sound could be described as a hooky combination of Lookout! Records era Green Day, Jawbreaker, and Ramones inspired bands such as Screeching Weasel.   I got Danny on the phone and this is what we talked about:

• Apple
• 80s music
• Writing about girls
• Playing in sketchy bars
• Playing with Jimmy Eat World
• Scrapping a full album that still exists
• The Lavaleans (lava lean ahs)
• Coolidge Records
• The Fonzy Legal Story
• How he met Alan Rappaport
• Weird NJ
• And a ton more
