Sean Bonnette from AJJ (formerly Andrew Jackson Jihad)  was a young man when he heard the music from the collection of his Gen X mom. He talks of that music, Violent Femmes, naturally distorted acoustic guitars and literature as sources of his inspiration. Then Scott Taylor and Tripp Lamkins from Grifters have a little listening party starting with songs by Deep Purple and ranging through 80’s alternative music from Skinny Puppy  to Black Flag to the Cure.
