Jonny Cohen
Hamsters for Kerry
A New Short Album

One of the most compelling and interesting voices of our time, Mr. Jonny Cohen, is a lyricist like no other. Teenbeat's very own poet laureate has a unique and enthralling perspective that pulls you in from the very first second of listenting. The title track revisits the touching story of how presidential candidate, John Kerry, rescued the family pet hamster. The other four contributions to the album are equally brilliant and touch on a variety of topics and musical genres.

These five songs were recorded in one day—a cappella—by engineer and producer Mark Robinson. The music was then composed and recorded after the fact, in the following weeks. A pretty unusual way of making a record, but somehow it all came together and works splendidly.

The Hamsters for Kerry short album follows last year's hit album, Clambake Fiasco, which was recorded with his band, The Love Machine. That one is still available on both vinyl LP and CD.

Available on the popular cassette format as well as wirelessly and tapeless via digital streaming.

RIP Justin Chearno. I met Justin when we both were working at the old Olsson's Books and Records in Alexandria, Virginia. He formed the incredible band PITCHBLENDE and was also briefly in UNREST in 1990, played on the "Yes She is My Skinhead Girl" single, and joined us on our very first coast-to-coast tour with DUSTdevils.

SEXUAL MILKSHAKE's classic Space Gnome and Other Hits single is featured on the cover of Henry Rollins' new book. UNREST's Bavarian Mods is on the back.

Bridget and Mark from Unrest and Air Miami talk about their musical inspirations on a new episode of NPR's Essential Tremors radio program.

Essential Tremors A show in which musicians and other creators talk about the songs that shaped who they are.

While it has been widely reported that the prominently displayed catalogue numbers on Factory Records' releases served as a strong influence to Teenbeat Graphica (our visual design group), 1970s Lego® product packaging also proved to be significant.
