Members: Brent Gaines, Derek Gaines

Jerkagram, a Brooklyn via Connecticut pair of fraternal twin brothers (guitarist Derek and drummer Brent Gaines), have been wreaking a Herculean cacophony since 2008. Jerkagram's "Let's Talk About Us" is an epically complex and deafening beast of Pelican-ish arena-sized instro-metal riffage and Don Caballero-esque punk-jazz noodling combined with space-rock improv trips into the sonic netherworld. Yet, not all is serious in their universe: they cite Keiji Haino and K-Fed as artists they like and getting laid as a band interest. Their most recent EP, "Tired Old Horseshit", features vocals for the first time, from both members.
