Rhythms, Resolutions & Hustlers is an album by the Brooklyn-based band Gay For Johnny Depp. It consists entirely of remixed (and retitled) versions of songs from their second album "What Doesn't Kill you, Eventually Kills You". Some of the remixes were performed by band members, others by friends, still others by their enemies. Sit back, relax and let the music take you. Praise be to Allah. All tracks in album order.

a note from sid jagger...
"Why bother even making art one must ask? Well, the desire to communicate some fellowship of the human existence springs to mind, and as we go on through our lives what better way to further extrapolate on this concept then to collaborate with others and see your work through the prism of their eyes. This is what we, les Gays, have attempted with our latest artistic endeavor, Rhythms, Resolutions & Hustlers.

The countless nights in blasted out barrooms, the short sharp shock of the alarm clock in the morning, and the seemingly endless drives that take us across the seas and back again have left an indelible mark on our conscious as both artists and appreciators of art.  Luckily our fellow creators of the divine sound wave have seen fit to ply their own well tempered expertise and disassemble, deconstruct, and in some cases downright destroy our original compositions to make something unique and very much their own.

It is with great honor and humility that I present to you the following collection of delicately handled and lovingly spanked tracks that originally made up our 2011 album, What Doesn’t Kill You, Eventually Kills You.
Dig deep, bite down, and embrace."

Gay For Johnny Depp - 2011 What Doesn't Kill You, Eventually Kills You


Band : Gay For Johnny Depp
Album : What Doesn't Kill You, Eventually Kills You
Release Year : 2011
Genre : Screamo / Spazzcore / Experimental

Tracklist :
01. Santa Claus, The Easter Bunny And Artistic Integrity
02. Suckcess
03. She Has The Hottest Limp (It’s All Noize)
04. Humility Is For People Who Don’t Comprehend Their Own Mortality
05. We Are The World? Burn It Down!
06. Rod Don’t Surf
07. Nine Inch Males (Born To Hate)
08. No, I’m Married To Jesus. Now Keep Your Fucking Hands Off Of Him.
09. Pink Flag
10. What Doesn’t Kill You, Eventually Kills You
11. Cum On Feel The Boiz

Given their initial conception as a band obsessed with the homoerotic appeal of their A-list namesake, the chances of Gay For Johnny Depp having a crack at a ‘serious’ hardcore record seemed slimmer than those of Satan acquiring chilblains. Previous full-length ‘The Politics Of Cruelty’ hinted at a capacity to focus on topics other than sexual depravity, but on ‘What Doesn’t Kill You…’ frontman Marty Leopard is a veritable fountain of bilious disgust. The frantic, high-pitched vocals of old are still present and correct, but they’re also tempered by frequent downbeat melodic refrains, echoing the likes of Nirvana more than, say, The Blood Brothers.

Musically too, the band display a staggering diversity; ‘Suckcess’, to take but one example, jabs you in eye with visceral yelps of nervous tension, before head-butting the pedal board and igniting an elephantine dominator of a riff. The undoubted highlight, however, is the title track. Menacing, slow-burn slide guitars are swept aside as Leopard loses his rag in spectacular fashion, passionately asserting, “I’m not an idiot! I’m not an idiot! I’m not a fucking douche bag!” as he rails against the political and financial elite still unconvincingly attempting to dupe the little man. Shit, when did Gay For Johnny Depp GFJD become Refused?

Gay for Johnny Depp - 2007 The Politics of Cruelty


Band : Gay for Johnny Depp
Album : The Politics of Cruelty
Release Year : 2007
Genre : Screamo / Spazzcore / Experimental
 
Tracklist:
1. cumpassion
2. you have a theory, i have a gun
3. belief in god is so adorable
4. lights out!
5. noise
6. point the finger (juicy's last $)
7. happens
8. very little good happens between 3 and 4 in the morning
9. delirium approaches (slut dust)
10. to the alcoholics: life is depressing
11. here
12. i hate our freedom (fuck you gladys, i'm on vacation)
 
A joyous, spasmodic outburst of frenzy, 'The Politics of Cruelty' is the first full-length release from Gay For Johnny Depp.
Whether you want to label it screamo or spazzcore or whatever else, this is certainly not easy listening, but GFJD strangely manage to combine discordant riffage, battering drums and often screamed vocals into a very listenable package that ultimately belies it's component parts.
Many of the songs are so short that by the time you've managed to wrap your head around the shifting tempos and signatures you're on to the next track. The shortness actually contributes to an overall album length of around 21 minutes, and that's for 12 tracks!
What the album lacks in overall quantity is made up in terms of quality though. Anyone with a penchant for the more eclectic end of the hardcore spectrum could do a lot worse than picking up The Politics of Cruelty.
 
 
 
 
 

Gay for Johnny Depp - 2005 Blood the Natural Lubricant


Band : Gay for Johnny Depp
Album : Blood the Natural Lubricant
Release Year : 2005
Genre : Screamo / Spazzcore / Experimental
 
Tracklist:
1. hey sailor
2. no teeth thumbs up
3. sex in your mouth
4. nothing's worse than a whining boy
5. shh, put the shiv to my throat
6. fucking isn't cheating

Gay for Johnny Depp essentially has one trick and they ride it pretty hard over the course of this 14-minute EP. Part dirty full-steam-ahead rock, part spastic screamo, it owes a great debt to the San Diego scene, particularly Swing Kids and Antioch Arrows. The more fashion concise members of The Blood Brothers fanbase would undoubtedly gain erections over this if their tight fitting jeans didn’t prevent the necessary blood flow.
Gay for Johnny Depp makes a reasonable showing of it though. Their rhythms are frantic, the tunes are catchy, certain parts will make you shake that pointy finger, and sure, some of their lyrics are pretty filthy. But, it just so happens I’ve heard bands that beat Gay for Johnny Depp at each of these things. Maybe I expected too much? Perhaps, but how can you not have unreasonably high expectations for a band that calls their record Blood: The Natural Lubricant (An Apocalyptic Adventure Beyond Sodom and Gomorrah)?!





Gay for Johnny Depp - 2004 Erotically Charged Dance Songs for the Desperate


Band : Gay for Johnny Depp
Album : Erotically Charged Dance Songs for the Desperate
Release Year : 2004
Genre : Screamo / Spazzcore / Experimental
 
Tracklist:
1. Kill The Cool Kids 
2. Lights Out! 
3. She Said "I Like This One!" 
4. At Least Be A Target 
5. He Loved It So Much He Went Mad

Gay for Johnny Depp have been described as spazzcore, hardcore, and metal. They are most well known for their vulgar, homoerotic lyrics focused around Johnny Depp; for example on “Kill The Cool Kids”, Leopard sings “Cos I want my Johnny bleeding, f*** him in the ass!” The vocals are most often delivered in a high-pitched scream reminiscent of bands such as The Blood Brothers. Musically, the band are recognisable for a frantic, relentless style, with songs almost always lasting less than 3 minutes.

Formed from ex-members of post-hardcore bands Garrison and Instruction in 2004, Gay for Johnny Depp released their first recording effort, Erotically Charged Dance Songs for the Desperate, on July 12, 2004. The 5-track EP was met with positive reviews which often compared Gay for Johnny Depp to fellow hardcore bands The Blood Brothers and The Locust.
