Jale “Not Happy”

Jale was formed by four art school students in 1993: guitarist Jennifer Pierce, who had earlier sung backup on the album Smeared by Sloan; drummer Alyson MacLeod; bassist Laura Stein; and guitarist Eve Hartling. The band’s name was formed from the first letters of the members’ first names.

    Most people should know that you can’t really catergorize bands properly. the ‘big 4′ grunge bands were all quite different but got given that title. likwise oasis and blur as britpop, the clash and the pistols as punk.

    A really good band with several terrific songs, I was able to see Jale play live two or three times back then. I still have their cd’s, so it was great to see this again.

    Yeah, Dino Jr spliced with the Breeders. That’s how I hear it…

    to me, the music itself reminds me more of dinosaur jr, sonic youth, and the shoegze inspired music off slumberland records more than nirvana or anything grunge related. of course, they were on sub pop, so i can see the relation.

    Jale, one of my favorites from back home. Me and my friends used to go to the bookstore just to chat with them(one of them worked there, maybe Eve if I remember). Still listen to their Cd’s~~

    I like this song but I loved Promise, too. I never got my hand on one of their albums - if I had known I’d still dig their music this much after 15 years, I’d have bought their work. These gals are cool, and their music is the bees knees.
