The Jasons
As someone who was raised on all things horror and heavy doses of good old-fashioned Punk Rock, I was instantly intrigued when I stumbled across the Jasons, four musicians clad in leather jackets, who don hockey masks and sing songs based upon the Friday the 13th film franchise. The band consists of:
Jason V – lead singer / lead guitar
Jason 3-D – bass / backing vocals
Jason Hell – drums / backing vocals
Jason R (a.k.a Hollywood) lead guitar / backing vocals
These four mongoloid brothers enjoy pissing people off with their immature antics and playing pure, red-blooded American Punk Rock from Crystal Lake, NJ. Their brand of Punk is very reminiscent of The Ramones, who happen to be one of their musical influences. In fact, the band even covered the Ramones’ “You’re Going to Kill That Girl,” which appeared on the Jasons’ first self-titled EP as “We’re Gonna Ki-Ki-Ki- Kill That Girl." Even if the listener is not completely familiar with the Friday the 13th films, the songs themselves are catchy and do the job of conveying the details of the 11 films. I found myself singing along to them only after a listen or two, “I Dowanna Be A Mongoloid," “Imposter,” and “Mommy Got Beheaded By A Bimbo,” in particular.
The Jasons followed up their first EP with Stalk and Slash Summer, the album art of which pays tribute to another of their musical influences, Kiss. Like the first EP, Stalk and Slash Summer would also contain a cover of sorts. This time the boys from Jersey take on Kiss’ “Love Gun,” which was renamed “Affection Firearm." While the follow-up EP has songs that are just as appealing as their debut with “Saturday the 14th (We’re going to the show)," “Stalk And Slash Summer” and “Were Going to Manhattan," it’s “Camp Arawak” that drew my attention. “Camp Arawak” is a love ballad where Jason expresses his feelings for Angela, the killer from the first Sleepaway Camp movie. The music video has the other band members trying to inform Jason V about Angela’s little secret, much to his dismay. As a child of the 80s, I remember that it seemed every band had to do at least one ballad; and horror slashers were oozing out of the woodwork. Listening to “Camp Arawak” made me laugh and feel nostalgic at the same time. I mean, who does not love a good dick joke?
The band is currently working on putting together a full-length release when they are not putting on shows on the east coast. An upcoming show on May 2nd at V Club in Huntington, WV, will see the Jasons sharing the stage with former Misfits guitarist Doyle. So if you are in the area, stop by and show these mongoloids some support.
