Freak in a Jar was a three piece punk band in Boise, ID in the mid-90s. John Kuehne was the lead guitarist and vocalist. Brent Kelley ruled the drums. I played bass and performed backup vocals. We played many shows in the greater Boise area including the infamous Crazy Horse and released a few demo tapes during our run. In December 2008, FIAJ reunited to play a Crazy Horse throwback show. And 2012 saw the release of an album full of brand new recordings.

They Don't Call It Punk Anymore

We chose our favorite tracks from the catalog and spent a year recording, mixing and mastering them to create this full length album, including a few new tracks for good measure.
