Jump The Wall

If you so much as blinked in the late 80's you missed this band that played the local clubs in Atlanta.

Very rarely do I Google something and come up empty. But I have Googled the band (Jump The Wall) the record company (Brave Dog Records) and came up with nothing.

I also Googled the band members:
Jim Hawes.....bass & vocals
Chris Kenny...guitar & vocals
Billy Braatz....drums
The only person that showed any info was Billy Braatz, who apparently is in a band called The Bel-Cats. They seem to be based somewhere in Wisconsin.

If you have any info on the whereabouts of any of the people feel free to leave info in the comments section.

This video features two of my favorite songs:
"T-Minus" and "Shake" Both are copyrighted 1987 Hawes/Kenny

@joesassenberger YES! Dig around for that tape... would love to hear a alternate version of "Shake"! Thanks for the comment.

Wow, nice post! We recorded a demo in some dudes basement in 1986, and he had just worked with Jump The Wall on some songs. One was "Shake", but it is not this mix. Might have to dig around and find a tape I had of 3 songs.

@steelydrwu Perhaps you should replace your Pickering with an Ortofon... I base this suggestion on nothing more than the fact that I like the way Ortofon looks spelled out on the printed page.

Fear is the first thing to go and when someone tells me what to do I just say ah ite den and go about my business. I've been wanting to put up some obscure songs lately and try my luck at copywrite infigernunt but my cd rom burned up and I haven't replaced it. What I really want to do is burn some songs from Vinyl but my Needle fell out of my Pickering and I lost it. I seem to be having mechanical problems.
