  • On feb 2/2000
  • (Eddie):Where did the name JerkMedia come from & who came up with it???

    (Frank): I came up with the name and concept of "Jerk Media" It is a reference to the written and broadcasted news and events meant to induce a state of false reality in susceptible consumers of products and services that perpetuate the illusion.

    (Eddie):Tell us a little history of how Jerk Media formed???

    (Frank): Mike and I met in junior high and jammed together on and off for years, then in late 1996, Steve Wallis joined on vocals and guitar. Chris Klinger joined in late 1999 and since then things really took off. Now we're with A.I.R. Records and shit is really starting to happen for us.

    (Eddie):Where can we get a copy of your new release "Stop The Presses" from???

    (Frank):At our Live Shows!!!!

    (Eddie):What Bands Influenced JerkMedia???

    (Frank):Rock

    (Eddie):How would you classify Jerk Media's sound???

    (Frank):The new record is a sample of the hard edge hard rock personality of JM. There is other shit going on that's not being represented on this disc. Don't get me wrong, I think it's fuckin awesome, but JM has a definite multiple personality disorder

    (Eddie):If we were to see Jerk Media live what can we expect to see???

    (Frank):I gotta give our great new drummer Chris Klinger props on this. You can expect to see and hear a high energy, high intensity, full on rock show with four guys having a blast playing the shit they love to play.

    (Eddie):Where was the cd produced & who produced it???

    (Frank):The CD was produced by Derek Chafin at The Barn Studio in Media Pa. Derek did a fucking incredible job making us losers sound fuckin great!

    (Eddie):What was your most memorable experience making the cd or playing a gig, or both???

    (Frank): One time I actually got laid just for being a musician
