J E R K S T O R E

Danish band, Jerkstore’s, second album, “Hard Words Softly Spoken”, consists of 11 cuts of modern metal rock with focus on the songwriting. The four members are inspired by metal, rock & hardcore. They can be seen as the Danish answer to the modern American metal scene even though they are a bit more melodic than most American bands.

On “Hard Words Softly Spoken” Jerkstore have picked few but very effective means to get their point across. Most of the songs are about three minutes in length and features catchy pop choruses and asskickin’ riffs. The vocals vary from harmony parts, screaming and yelling to regular rock singing while the guitars and the bass produce a wall of sound complimented by the drums.

The opener “Five Lost Years” is a prime example of the Jerkstore-formula. While “The Road To Shangri-La” mixes hard pumpin’ riffs with a haunting chorus and a middle eastern vibe. “Dead Eyeings” exhibits Jerkstore in their doomiest and slowest mode, “It Can Only Get Worse” is probably their most pop orientated song and “You Don’t Know Better” shows the band’s affection for the heavy scene of New Orleans.

The band’s debut album, “Anti-Jukebox”, received rave reviews in magazines such as Terrorizer (GB) and RockHard (D). Jerkstore was compared to a wide range of bands from Fu Manchu, Life Of Agony, Kyuss, Eleven Pictures, Soundgarden, Helmet, Chum, Tool, to Sevendust, Pantera, and Machine Head.
