Headhunter Records / US / RE 2023
The self-titled debut album by San Diego's post-hardcore pioneers is a visceral and dynamic journey into angular guitar work, unpredictable rhythms, and intense vocal delivery. Known for their intricate song structures and raw energy, Drive Like Jehu pushed the boundaries of punk and hardcore, laying the groundwork for math rock and emo. Tracks like "Here Come the Rome Plows" showcase their explosive chemistry and unrelenting creativity. This record remains a cornerstone of 90s underground rock and an enduring influence on alternative music.
