Hope For Us?

What the hell happened to the Jealous Sound? Can we start a petition to get these guys to finish their album? Apparently there was some word in January of '06 that they were working on a record for the Militia Group, but no one has heard anything since. I'm still on the mailing list for Better Looking Records because of these guys, and I haven't heard crap since I ordered their EP two years ago. This recession will not stand, man. Kill Them With Kindness is a fascinating, endlessly rewarding album, it got me all the way across west Texas on repeat with its sparse, shimmering guitar interplay and jittery, shifting rhythms falling all over each other. Somebody please track down Blair Shehan, Pedro Bonito, John McGinnis, and Adam Wade, aim them back towards the studio, and give each one a swift kick in the pants to get him going. Seriously. I have spoken.

i didn't know adam wade was in the jealous sound. i always assumed he disappeared from planet earth shortly after the liner note pic from jawbox's "novelty" was shot.

He didn't play drums on KTWK, that was the redoubtable Tony Palermo filling in (ha!), but Wade was an official band member for the subsequent tour.
