If 2005's Shallow was Pissed Jeans coping with moving out
of their parents’ homes, and 2007's Hope for Men their initial
reaction to the mechanical lifestyle of a wage-earner, King of
Jeans is their formal and uneasy acceptance of adulthood, by
way of one hell of a rock record. Working with renowned producer
Alex Newport (who holds a Fudge Tunnel pedigree and has
worked with such luminaries as At the Drive-In, The Locust
and Sepultura), Pissed Jeans have pushed further into the raw,
minimal core of heavy rock music with King of Jeans. Masters
of the mundane, beasts of the banal, high priests of the
humdrum: these four, white, male high school graduates hardly
look further than their own appendages for artistic inspiration,
content to execute their own brand of brash and heavy punk
music in the Joe Carducci-approved standard rock formation
of guitar, bass, drums and vocals. From simple minds and
simple fabrics comes this King of Jeans. And there can be only
one.
