Joan and the Rivers is one of San Jose’s most prolific and business-savvy punk bands. Instead of brooding in the studio for years, the local trio has kept the music coming in steady bursts. In 2018 they dropped three short EPs to satiate fans. Lost somewhere between the garage and the bar, JATR send dirty howls through the dead-end streets of the suburbs like a midnight transmission from KFJC. Part Rocket From the Crypt, part Doctor Demento, they don’t care much about the rules of genre or taste. And we love them for it.
