Fiery blues-punk duo Jesus and the Groupies drop new album "Insomnia" on Mandinga Records

Insomnia is the fifth Jesus and The Groupies album and it came out of a very experimental phase for many reasons. The pandemic meant nobody could be in the same room at the same time, so the idea that one could literally go anywhere with music became a kind of therapy. The old electronica effects long forgotten by the masses found a way back to life with Jesus and The Groupies and became a challenge to try to extract the best out of the worst technology available. Imagine a place where Hip Hop meets garage punk and all kinds of loud and renegade music that some kid out there could think is really cool. Old plastic Keyboards scooped from Goodwill meet a very old second-hand jazz kit drumset with guitars that sounds like they came straight out of an amp that was left outside on a rainy day, then tossed down the stairs for good measure.
