If you had the chance to play with a national act for one night, who or what band would it be?
RR: GWAR
FR: Nofx for the musical aspect, Weird Al for the overall fun aspect.
JT: I'd like to play with Willie nelson, for obvious reasons.
CHRIS AND DAWN: JT, because he’s a legend of course!! We’re sure that’s what you meant…(snickering) Although you are a diverse band of both rock and punk, you probably have an opinion about music in this current society. What do you think about the current state of punk rock?
FR: Meh.
RR: We believe in unity in the scene. It’s not a competition for us. We’re just trying to have a good time, make some friends and play somekick-ass music.
CHRIS AND DAWN: There is no doubt that kick-ass music is what you are playing and then some. Your music is something to be heard. Especially at a live show, it’s an experience. With that said here’s a burning question for you, are you guys working on any new projects? Maybe a new album?
RR: YES! We have a full length self-titled CD coming out right before summer on our own “indie label” Vagrant Productions.
It was recorded/mixed and mastered by an awesome friend of ours, Nick Diiorio at Thunder House Studio in Port St. Lucie, FL, and will be available online and at live shows, and it will include the 14 original tracks that we’ve been playing live for the last 2 years. We are already diligently working on the next one also.
CHRIS AND DAWN: That’s great! Your own label is unquestionably a fantastic way to make things happen. We wish you a lot of luck with Vagrant Productions.
We want to thank you all for taking the time to share your story with Metal Onslaught Magazine. We look forward to continuing to see The J.P.P. excel in their future endeavors.
Is there anything that you would like to share with our readers about The J.P.P.?
RR: I like fire.
FR: I like cheese.
JT: I love you guys. No homo.
JM: If you want to hear more of us, book us for your next show or event, or just download some free songs. You can look online and find us on these sites and more.
