(Oct 31, 2003 - Scappoose, OR) - jimmy can't dance (J.C.D.), the Pacific Northwest's latest addition to the independent hard rock scene, recently released its first CD "Shaving the porcupine." The CD reveals the band's hardcore musical influences like MSG, The Cult and half a dozen Southern Rock bands. J.C.D. has been writing rock music and slowly recording it over the past 4 years. Figuring they would never be signed by a major label due to their heavy style of music, the band decided to create their own record label (Proactive Communications) and began recording "Shaving the Porcupine."
"The title of the album says it all," notes guitarist/vocalist/songwriter Stewart Millager. "Every step of this process has been painful." J.C.D. plans to go back in the studio for its second album in mid-August of 2003. "I think the second album will be much more intense than 'Shaving' is. Now we can spend more time recording music spontaneously rather than messing around with the engineering and production of the product," says Millager.The CD is on sale on www.jimmycantdance.com for $8 and visitors can download free .mp3's of the band.
