What The NJ Sneer am:The NJ Sneer am a roots hardcore punk band, based in North Jersey when all the members am around and not at college OR IN ROME FOR A WHOLE SEMESTER!! From summer 2003 on we'll all be in or near Jersey with easy modes of transportation to each other, so we're now a solid band after a year of distances. In other words, we will have more love to spread to the heathens, like jam or low fat margarine being spread on toast that has not yet seen the light, where the jam or margarine would represent the light/love (not necessarily respectively), and we would be the knife that spreads the jam or margarine, if you're into deep rooted metaphors. Our mp3.com page seems to have mysteriously disappeared, so we put up a page here with every song on our "EP" on it. That page has been dubbed our Downloads Page. If you like them, E-mail us and we can send you a hard copy CD-R of Jersey's Fight Songs in a beautiful paper sleeve, for free, and when you get it, you can listen to it (or rather FEEL IT!!) in all of its 8 song/15 minute glory. If you don't like it, you can fix your wobbly kitchen chair by sticking it under one of the legs. We play hard. We am the man. |
 They're currently quite free. |

| Show! God this website is ugly, and I don't know if anybody but Cake looks at it anymore, but yeah we have a show again. Okay, it's on October 6, 7:00 pm (a Friday) at 65 Wyckoff Street in New Brunswick, featuring our buds The Sunshine Will, The Popo, The Thunder Kids, and The NJ Sneer. Free. By the way, the console that we recorded on last year gave up the ghost, so those recordings are gone. See you there! |
| March 13: |
| We recorded(!?) yesterday with Justin from Break-Through, who's releasing a comp with NJ Sneer, Eat It, Cannonball, Straight and Alert, and Disregard , the latter two hailing from Indiana. Check Break-Through Records for details. In this session we re-recorded Apathy, Breakdown, Weekend Warrior, and Better Things to Be, and the recordings thus far are promising. Another recording with Break-Through is soon to come, featuring a second attempt of all content on our second and too-shitty-to-officially-released record of last year, Screaming at Anyone Who Will Listen , along with five or six brand new songs. To answer your question, yes, Vladimir the Dark's show is still on for April 2nd at Demarest Hall in New Brunswick, with Eat It, Rahim, and Trashtalk in the Kingdom confirmed, and possibly Sparks Fly from a Kiss. |

| Alright let's update this shit. We've got two shows comming up, one this Friday, March 4th at the Christ Church in Summit, starting at 7:30pm. We'll be playing with high school bands that will leave with their friends after they and their friends' bands are done playing. However you should see two of those bands, and maybe some others. We'll be playing with Eat It , our friends from Summit High who play in the spirit of our 80's hardcore brethren (of which most don't want to admit said "family" relation to us). Oh, and Justin (Jersey!) sings in Eat It! Honorary NJ Sneerist Steve Ocone, who doubles as Jason's current room mate, will also be playing at this show, not with the NJ Sneer but in a band called Pardon My French with altrenative-rocker Sugarpaul and drummer Apprentice. Also playing will be Zucchini Head, featuring Steve's young brother Matt Ocone ripping it up on the guitar. If this show is anything like the last show I saw here, there will be some weird band with a white bass player that has an afro and a weird orange potato-shaped bass. But enough of this paragraph, let's start another. There's another show on Saturday, April 2nd . It's in New Brunswick at Demarest Hall's lounge on College Ave. Wear a ball gown. We'll be playing with Rex Mars again, so expect more NJ Sneer equipment to be broken before we play. Hopefully someone will be there with a backup amp again, and hopefully it'll be another Marshall 800 that sounds a lot better than John's current amp rig. Sneer Army member Matt Keys will be playing in Sparks Fly from a Kiss while stroking his goatee and thinking about cowbells and jellybeans. I think some other bands are playing, maybe Eat It again and I think Rahim. Finally, the Sneer will be recording again. We're "signed" to Break-Through Records , owned and operated by Eat It who have a bunch of awesome analog recording equipment and for some reason want to record us. We'll be doing that within this month, with an Eat It/NJ Sneer split to come of it. |

| Gee whiz, the NJ Sneer has a show! We're playing Asbury Lanes on December 15th. It's a swingin' place: No cover, $2 beers, and you can bowl all night for $5, including shoes (Just don't get your Chucks mixed up with everyone else's when you take them off). It should be noted that Fishbone is playing there one week before us, so we like to think of them as our opening band. Asbury Lanes info: http://www.myspace.com/asburylanes |

| In case anyone's wondering, yes, we are still a band. |
| July 9: |
| Well, there is no news really, but it should be noted that all members of the NJ Sneer went on the Atkins diet and collectively lost 250 pounds which were donated to the US Army, sent to Iraq, and fired out of cannons to stop terrorism. This cemented the NJ Sneer's status as a proactive part of American culture in 2004, and you should buy them musical equipment cause theirs doesn't work anymore. |

| Sneerhead Corey Klein of the JKPBombs interviewed the Sneer minus Blasi at the Union Plaza Diner. While Johnny Slugger was busy conducting 90% of the interview, Cake ran to the bathroom every five minutes to support his coke habit as Punk Rot Beet embarrassed everyone with stupid waitress antics.

| We all got really mad and cancelled the April 21st show (read: we fired our mouths off and they moved the show) cause someone didn't want us to play "My Girlfriend Is a Fucking Whore" and the $5 cover charge for a basement show also sucked. So we currently have no shows comming up. |

| You didn't hear us playing on The Core 90.3 a few Thursdays ago, because you weren't listening to it, but we were playing a few live sets on Corey and Jason's radio show. It was totally sweet, and we'll have CDs of it in a week or two, which will be free for anyone who requests one. You can listen to Corey and Jason's Rock & Roll Show Thursday nights (Friday mornings) at 12:00-2:00 am in the New Brunswick/Piscataway area. |

If you want to go, get tickets from us for $8, for they are $10 at the door. We'll be getting a currently undisclosed percent of that profit back, which will go right beck to you because we want you there for as close to cheap as possible. I think it's a 21 & over show, so bring your fake ID and stick a candy cigarette in your mouth. Also, the recording turned out kind of bad and right now we're all feeling too lazy to do anything about it. Also, after almost a year, our webpage has 1000 hits. We heart you guys. |
