“Jenna” is
the latest single from the upcoming AAA Battery debut album Year of The Woman
+++
AAA Battery is the new pop group led by Canadian pop hero Spookey Ruben on vocals, San
Francisco’s Joe Maydak on bass and
Chicago’s Fred Jeske on guitar and
drums. All have middle names that begin with the letter “A.” The band will
release its debut album Year of The Woman on December 3rd, 2013 and now
Canada’s national music publication Exclaim
has premiered
the single “Jenna” via its website here.
Following up the album’s first single “Tea Time” (recently premiered via My Old Kentucky Blog),
AAA Battery now presents “Jenna,” a feminist anthem which asks
the question “Is social adaptability essential in this day and age?” According
to Jeske, “This woman has made a
decision to change herself for the sake of the realm, trying to change to fit
in, but sacrificing herself on the way. She eventually discovers that the prize
is not worth the fight! The consumption of this ‘poison tea’ represents the
absorption of the human network’s failures and flaws. All she should have done
the entire time was to be herself.”
With its members located throughout North America, AAA Battery’s addictive power pop could
only have formed by chance. Maydak and
Jeske had been playing together for
years and were already fans of Canadian musician and experimental filmmaker, Spookey Ruben when they asked if him to
guest of one of their tracks. Ruben,
known for his underground classic album Modes of Transportation Vol. 1 (TVT Records) and his more recent
collaborations with everyone from Esthero
to Ariel Pink, was happy to oblige
and ultimately went on to join the band and appear on the entire album.
Year of The Woman by AAA Battery arrives on December 3rd,
2013. Contact Josh Bloom at Fanatic for
