Love Under Will
The Jet Black Berries have an illustrious history. The band originally gained notoriety as one of the groups that contributed to the infamous “Return of the Living Dead” soundtrack along with the Cramps, the Damned and the legendary Roky Erickson. The Jet Black Berries released 3 albums in the mid to late 80’s on Restless and Enigma Records and were the darlings of what was then known as psychedelic alternative rock. Their records charted high on CMJ charts. The band broke up in 1989.....but zombies are hard to kill......... In 2010 4 out of 5 of the original members of the Jet Black Berries reunited joined by a new lead singer, Johnny Cummings to create one more full length album, Postmodern Ghosts. The people at Bug Music heard the band and Bug Digital quickly reached an agreement with the band to distribute their new full length CD. The reviews of that CD were fantastic. An example, “Postmodern Ghosts opens with the tolling of church bells then gives way to shimmering guitars that carry the band straight to today’s great rock sounds…..cool, and surprisingly fresh." Jeff Spevak, Music Critic, Gannett Newspapers. Or, “Postmodern Ghosts takes you to that special place where the world around you dissipates and the music enveloping you is all that remains.” Todd Severin, The Ripple Effect. The band has risen from the crypt one more time to reunite for a 30th anniversary reworking of “Love Under Will”, an ode to Aleister Crowley, the song that first appeared in 1985’s “Return of the Living Dead.” The band hopes that you all receive it in the spirit in which it was given. Enjoy.
