The Jabbers

The Jabbers

The Jabbers are a punk rock band once fronted by the controversial singer GG Allin. Many of his most well known songs were recorded with and attributed to this band, such as "Assface", "Don't Talk to Me" and "Bored to Death". Their music could be summed up as a catchy mix of power pop and hardcore punk, with Stooges-style riffs. At this time, Allin could carry a tune in a decently snotty punk voice.

His early theatrics, subject matter and lyrical content didn't hold a candle to what would come in the future. One review of their only album, Always Was, Is And Always Shall Be, states:

"Amazingly enough, the violent hatred, sexual and psychological degradation, and staggering stupidity only hint at the heights (or depths) Allin would reach later."

In 2003, Rob Basso, Alan Chapple, Chris Lamy, and Michael O'Donnell, (four early members of the Jabbers) reformed, with a new singer, Wimpy Rutherford (ex-Queers) handling vocal duties. They released an album entitled "American Standard" in 2005 on Steel Cage Records.
