- Great Aggro Rock
Jack Off Jill's debut 'Sexless Demons and Scars' is truly one of the most unique and disturbing releases in recent history. The combining childlike female singing (and abrasive screaming) with simple but alluring guitar riffs is surprisingly amazing. It basically sounds like the soundtrack to a little girl's nightmare. The shoddy production and -at some points - simple lyrics seem to enhance the all around experience instead of lessen the blow. To compare 'Sexless Demons and Scars' to Jack Off Jill's sophomore - and final - release 'Clear Hearts Gray Flowers' is asinine. The two are completely different in sound and all around atmosphere (though I myself prefer the later release). The themes behind most of the songs are sick as he ll. I mean you must love a lyric like "My little girlscout your mouth is getting sour, would you love me any less if I hurt you anymore..." (from my favorite track "Girlscout"). Or - from another great song "American Made" - "Burn the flag with a f ag...". Very entertaining. Granted, the album has no "Losing His Touch"es or "Nazi Halo"s, but it is still a must hear. The album is excellent but you must hear 'Clear Hearts Gray Flowers' (I love that record!) to truly undersand their genius. If you want a twisted rock and roll album this is it. A must have.

This band is awesome. I happened to stumble across them accidently and I am glad I did. Their music is strange, it rocks, but its strange. I wouldn't compare them with Marilyn Manson, though there is a slight similar style. Jessika's voice is a wild trip. Sometimes sounding like a little girl, innocent in tone, yet demonic lyrically, then she will scream and totally change up the sound. Great bass lines and insane lyrics make this a great cd. I was skeptical at first, so if you are, dive in, you won't regret it.

- A great CD for people sick of bands that sound the same
Jack Off Jill is a band from So. Florida who gets refered to far to often as just Marilyn Manson with a girl singer. But if you actually listen the band is much more than that. Singer, Jessicka twists her voice into angry emotional and childlike cries, too intense to believe. Bassist Robin Mulder and guitarist HoHo Spade, along with drummer Lauracet Simpson will present you with beautifully interwoven music perfectly locked with the lyrics. Definatly a band to check out if you're on the prowl for something new and a bit different. A beautiful debut.

- Did you still need me now that I'm a monster?
This is one of the best CDs I've ever listened to. The music has some of the best guitar I've ever heard, and the vocals hit you right in the gut and shove their way into your heart. I've heard Jack Off Jill described as a "female Marilyn Manson," and I think this is true to a point. Jessicka and Manson have been friends for a while, and they have definitly influenced each others style, but they each have their own talents.

- a great band
very good for their first album. Jessicka has great vocals, from girly singing to the devilish singing... it is more rock than their 2nd album so this one would probably appeal to the more hardcore metal fans... i think you people should check out joj. even though they broke up, jessicka formed a new band called scarling
