Since the very beginning back in 1998 The Jam Session has been on a neverending quest for doing our own thing, which has lead us on strange paths in heavy and experimental music. Going thru the whole catalogue of releases you’ll find everything from insane hardcore, progressive punk and doomy dark metal. It was never our intension to make things as strange as possible, it´s just our way to deal with the smalltown boredom and the result of 5 different individuals trying to express themselves as one unit.

Love Lost But Not Forgotten (often shortened to LLBNF) was a screamo band from St. Peters, Missouri. The band formed in 1997 containing ex-members of End Over End and The Paxadils. Known for their violence on stage and unique vocals provided by a lineup that sometimes included two main vocalists (Prater and Schmidt both being solo vocals for the band at one time through the bands career) and a trio of guitarists (Fogelbach and Emerick also surviving the lifetime of the band, with Doerhoff re-emerging to make a few special appearances in their later years).
Joshua Fit For Battle
Joshua Fit For Battle was a prominent hardcore band based out of Newark, Delaware. Despite Joshua Fit For Battle’s effort to avoid categorization, both fans and critics often consider the band a product of the screamo uprise during the late 1990’s. The band was home to ex-members of several notable Delawarian bands, such as the Bessemer Process, Union, Coffin, and Year of the Comet. Joshua Fit For Battle’s career spanned from 1998 to 2005, until the group disbanded. The band’s releases are still distributed by distinguished screamo label Level Plane.Members of the group can now be found in various musical endeavors, such as Superstitions of the Sky, Interpol ,Hot Cross, Welcome the Plague Year, and a Petal Fallen. And Larry from JFB and WPY works at Grotto’s…heh.

Three Shades of Dirty were a short lived band from Annapolis, MD, featuring ex-members of The Hated. They released a demo cassette entitled “Paper Roses” on Vermin Scum in 1990 and had a song on the “Superpowers” compilation cassette (Troubleman Unlimited’s first release). Musically they move on from the final The Hated record into a more indie rock sound.
