Artist Biography For Jake Brennan & The Confidence Men

From Http //www.Jakebrennan.Org Jake Is From Boston. He Grew Up In Hardcore. Cut His Teeth In Cast Iron Hike On Victory Records. Then He Formed The Confidence Men And Released Love And Bombs On Yep Roc Records In Late 2004. The Press And The Dutch Loved It. The Boston Phoenix Said It Sounded Like Gram Parsons Fronting The Attractions. Clearly There Is No Drug Testing Going On At The Boston Phoenix. Jake Won A Couple Of Boston Music Awards For Best Vocalist Joke! Ha! Ever Hear Of John Pohida? And Toured As Much As They'd Let Him - Opening For The Figgs Jon Spencer John Doe Tommy Stinson Steve Earle My Morning Jacket Evan Dando The Von Bondies Etc Etc Blah Blah Blah... Jake's New Forthcoming Record Is Not A Record By One Of His Previous Bands The Confidence Men Or Cast Iron Hike. This Record Is Stripped Down And Raw. There Are No Sabbath Sized Guitars Or Pretty Three-Part Harmonies To Hide Behind. Jake Plays And Sings Everything Yikes With The Exception Of One Song By The Legendary LA Hardcore Band X. Jake's Friend John Doe Lends His Vocal And Buzzsaw Talents To The Tune Hot House. Paul Kolderie Radiohead Pixies And Adam Taylor Provide The Serial Killer Production. They Prayed At An Alter Called “echoplex” And Made The Record In Two Days. One Day To Play And Sing And One Day To Mix. Jake Has This To Say About His New Record "The Folk Singer Is Dead. His Bones Are Buried In The Basement Of Your Local Chain Coffeshop. These Are Hardcore Times. Folk Music Hardcore Music... Immediate Simple. Protest Songs Ballads Breakdowns. Raw Primal And Of The People. This Is Not My Record This Is Hardcore Folk!"
