Last year we introduced you to a regularly featured musician Chris Scott. His endevours were duely noted and we’ve since kept you in the loop with all things regarding both Bearcubbin’ and The Jezebel Spirit. We’ve streamed back catalogues of both acts and just a few weeks ago we bought the news of Bearcubbin’s return.
Today’s post is another feature for The Jezebel Spirit. Unfortunately, due to their disbandment, this is their last. We gave you the news last year that the band had plans to release a full length; after the decision to disband, The Jezebel Spirit have a rightful send off within the latest and their last release. Respectfully we credit this band and stream their 2 new releases.
The band consists of Phil Cleary (Drums and Piano), Pat Dougherty (Bass), Jon Scheid (Guitars and Keyboards), and Chris Scott (Guitars and Keyboards).
After going through several singers and names, the band (with Jon’s strong influence of Instrumental rock taste) finalized the line up without a singer and became The Jezebel Spirit that records and performs today.
The first effort was the “Turtles All the Way Down EP” that represents a fully encompassed listening experience from start to finish. A small experiment with the “Untitled EP” led to a week long studio stay to create the full length “Remember…Always Obey, You’ll Live Longer that way”. Following this their 2 August releases. The first found in a collection of live, studio and practice space demo tracks with their vocalist at the time- titled “Live and Rarities”. The second August release is a 7track album titled “I Hate it Here”. Produced by the band itself, this is their Farewell EP.

In their first feature back in 2010 Circuit Sweet quoted “You know when you meet a person or hear/see a band for the first time that really knocks you back due to their honest passion for what they’re doing, to me this band is part of this feeling.”- and to this day it still stands.
Together or not this band have made a long lasting beneficial legacy to their achievements. Clear to see in their history and standing out in their compositions. Whilst The Jezebel Spirit bids farewell one thing they won’t do is fade out or fade away.
