Biography

Railroad Jerk skewer blues, country, rock, and noise into a messy, bohemian post-punk celebration of rock. Formed in 1989 by guitarist/vocalist Marcellus Hall and bassist/vocalist Tony Lee in Trenton, NJ, the duo added drummer Jez Aspinall and guitarist Chris Muller by early 1990; the group recorded their self-titled debut for Matador Records in 1990. After its release, Aspinall left the band and was replaced by Steve Cercio; Muller was kicked out of the band and replaced by Alec Stephen. The quartet released their acclaimed second album, Raise the Plow, in 1993; after its release, Cercio left the band and was replaced by Dave Varenka. Railroad Jerk released its third album -- its most highly-praised yet -- in spring of 1995. Emergency Third Rail Power Trip, the group's fourth album, also received positive reviews upon its fall 1996 release. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi
