Power-Popscurites: My Brother Jane (1997)


Power-Popscurites is a series meant to bring to light power-pop bands so unknown that they've even been missed by greater minds of the blogosphere.

My Brother Jane were a full-tilt power-pop punk band whose 1997 album, Supersize, lands somewhere between early Elvis Costello and mid-period Green Day.


MBJ (Ohms - Drums/Lead Vocals, Darbs - Guitar/Vocals, and Al Stretch - Bass/Vocals), if memory serves, formed from the ashes of The Johns (actually The Bards unfaithful memory), who were Winnipeg's critical darlings in the late eighties where each city was allowed to have only one band in the race to be the acceptable face of 'alternative rock'.


On their lone album, the band delivered ill-tempered but infectious pop songs, like "Suzanne Away", "Supersize" and "Beautiful Empty" (but unfortunately not their whiplash version of David Bowie's "Modern Love") which stick in your brain not in your craw.
