JERRY A & THE KINGS OF OBLIVION - Life After Hate 12"

It’s a rare musician who can lay claim to an unblemished, four-decade-spanning discography, but if anyone can, it’s Portland, OR’s reluctant King Of Punk: Mr. JERRY A. LANG.

From his tenure with pioneering hardcore punk legends POISON IDEA, to his many side projects and collaborative efforts, JERRY A. has forged an enviable and impressive legacy, and decades after so many of his contemporaries have come and gone, he’s nowhere near to being finished…. And with this in mind, please allow us to introduce… JERRY A and the KINGS OF OBLIVION.

Formed in the wake of his 2021 collaboration with Dutch street rock'n'rollers (and fellow TKO alums) SAVAGE BEAT, the KINGS OF OBLIVION reunites Mr. LANG with the SB boys to bring us this new offering.

This burner of a mini-LP is a love letter to the 70s punk and proto-punk influences that have underlined all of Jerry’s musical efforts to one degree or another. Consisting of two originals and four covers of varying obscurity, Life After Hate sees the SAVAGE BEAT boys laying down a pitch-perfect barrage of punk rock‘n’roll that perfectly suits Jerry’s singular vocal delivery.
