notes

Hailing from Brooklyn, New York, and influenced by a variety of different bands and music, The Motherjumpers are a rock band as good as they come. With a strong sense of melody and a high standard of songwriting, The Motherjumpers' guitar-based and harmony-laden rock'n'roll packs an emotional and heart-felt punch. They're a bit heavy, a bit country, a bit soulful, and a lot of rock!

Their music is traditional, yet fresh. Influences ranging from The Band to Radiohead... The Beatles to Wilco... Johnny Cash to Guns N Roses combine to create a sound that is distinctly THE MOTHERJUMPERS.

Steeped in the best melodic rock music, The MJs stay true to traditional song writing values while still leaving space for experimentation.

The Motherjumpers are Paul Weiss on lead guitar, Christian Rugilio on guitar and vocals. Chuck Howell on drums and vocals, Tommy Lombardozzi on Rhythm guitar and lead vocals, and Michael Lombardozzi on Bass guitar.

  • Awesome sound and awesome first CD.
    author: Jerry B.

    A friend of mine from the NYC area turned me on to this band and their first CD. What a great surprise it was the first time I listen to the CD and each time I listen to it I like it more. I was especially impressed with the lyrics....it was a real pleasant surprise to hear some meaningful words while listening to some new music. When I listen, I am reminded of the Beatles, CCR, and even some Simon and Garfunkel. I think that just shows me how versatile and unique The Motherjumpers are. Look forward to their next CD.

  • Great tunes to drive to and some that really hit a personal level.
    author: Jennifer Ficentise

    Awesome music in so many ways. A unique sound mixed with great rock. It's music that takes you to a great place and you can really find some personal emotions with it. Each song has a different feel to it, but still with the Motherjumpers great style. I can't listen to this CD enough and I need more. Ya hear me?! MORE!!!!!

  • JUST REALLY GOOD MUSIC.
    author: JOHN MCMILLAN

    This is really good stuff. These guys have great songs. They have a unique sound, yet it isn't elitist or unapproachable. It is good quality rock music, the likes of which you don't hear very much these days. Radio rock has become fad-laden.. a satire of itself. These guys bring back good old fashioned ideals, but at the same time sound fresh and inviting. Great songs, catchy yet moving... great playing, you can tell these guys know what they're doing.. great prooduction, nothing is overdone or sterile, it's natural and organic. i bought this cd on recommendation of a friend and I was NOT dissapointed. Therefore, I recommend it to you. I hope this band stays around a while because I'd like to see what they do next. Why this band isn't signed yet is a mystery to me. It's just a matter of time, it seems.. SPREAD THE WORD!

  • These Guys Can Jump My Mother Anyday!
    author: Francis Luzio

    I purchased this CD at one of their shows and didn't take it out of my discman for a month. The sound quality is amazing and the vocal harmonies are ridiculous. I only gave this CD 4 Stars because one of the guitarists tried picking up my girlfriend at one of their shows. This CD is so good, my friend Bernie borrowed it from me and never gave it back.

  • EXCELLENCE
    author: Joey

    This CD by far exceeds the standards for quality being set by todays "popular" rock music. In pretty much every aspect, from lyrics to songwriting, to originality, the MJ's really fire on all cylinders with this, their debut album. One of the other reviewers called The Motherjumpers a breath of fresh air and I really want to echo that sentiment because we are in an era when most rock music sounds the same and nearly all of it sounds bad. I can't stress it enough that you owe it to yourself to get this CD, and then go see the Motherjumpers live. If you find yourself disappointed or disgruntled or disgusted or any other word begining with "dis" when you hear what is considered rock getting played on the radio today, trust me, this is the CD for you.

  • A must listen!!! A great addition to anyone's CD collection.
    author: Barrycuda

    Many bands today put out CDs with maybe one or two good songs with the rest being just filler. This is not the case with The MotherJumpers. Every song written with care and played with such great musical precision, The Motherjumpers self title CD is an instant classic. There is not one bad song on this CD. It just gets better and better as it progresses and the songs just stick in your head. Radio friendly yes, but one of the most original sounding bands in a long while. If you want quality music for a great price, then this CD is for you. Buy one for yourself or for a friend, you won't be disappointed!

  • Great CD!
    author: Dj Frankie Ming

    AS the first person to actually buy the cd I would like to say that it is a MUST have. Its hard to come across good music these days and you're not going to get any better then The MotherJumpers, its more than just three chords and lyrics that complain about something like everything else thats coming out. This is REAL music, with REAL meanings (well some of it lol)

  • Why buy krap on the radio?
    author: Mikey V

    Why spend 15-18 bucks on a CD of a bunch of krappy songs you hear every ten minutes on the radio? For almost half the price, you get great music, help promote a great band and you can still listen to those krappy songs, FOR FREE ON THE RADIO DUMMY!

  • just plain good!
    author: frank b.

    this cd is such a breath of fresh air. it is nice to hear an independant album that is made with heart, but also has the quality music to back it up!!!! the songs on this record are all top notch. great harmonys. great lead guitar. id recommend this cd to anyone that digs good songwriting and no-frills rock and roll music.

  • Buy This MotherF'in CD!
    author: Krispen Grilla

    Anyone who loves to be rocked needs to buy this CD. It's great music from a great band and you won't be disappointed! So instead of purchasing some trash like Stars Are Blind, put your money to good use and buy this album!

  • ONE OF THE BEST INDIE ALBUMS YOU WILL BUY THIS YEAR
    author: k. gray

    If you haven't had the distinct pleasure of seeing this band perform live, than you should. If you don't live within a thousand miles or so of being able to see them perform live? Than you *must* buy this cd. The MotherJumpers are a fantastic band with classic driving rhythms, ballad-like melodies with engaging and rockin' vocals. This is a first class band... you'll be singing their songs for DAYS!
