BAD MUSIC
He's the world's most famous bassist
Though the music world won't face it
He thinks he knows
When the bottom comes and goes, yeah
Let me dress you in leather
Put a spot on your shoes, yeah
Buy a bubble gum crowd that moves
And change your music
All your music is bad, bad
Brand your music
All your music as bad, bad
Find yourself in a hotel
She locks the keys in your car, yeah
She walks in with a suede mouth
And tells you who you are
She's a wild rocker
She's got camel hair on her legs
Her hair's seven shades of blue
And all over you
But she's carving her motto
On the edge of your soul, yeah
She's in love with rock 'n roll
And all your music
All your music is bad, bad
Brand your music
Make no music, it's bad, bad
There are no reputations
We checked them at the door
There are no stipulations
We're rotten to the core
But the crowd expands in silence
On the brink of clubland violence
Hold tight, hold tight
Every blister's turning white
Backing up to the basics
With a hammer and nails, yeah
And a bleeding heart that wails
That this whole system
This whole scene is bad, bad
All your underhanded schemes are bad

Six Gun Jury - "Res Ipsa Loquitur": Re-discovered...for the first time by the world.
"Six Gun Jury deserves a shot at the majors."
~ John Hayes, Rockflash, August 1989
After 21 years, here is the world-wide release of "Res Ipsa Loquitur", the 1989 debut album of Pittsburgh alternative guitar rockers Six Gun Jury (1986-1990). The album that battled for top of the Pittsburgh alternative record charts during the summer of 1989, alongside such heavyweights as Pixies, The Lemonheads and 10,000 Maniacs, finally says its proper hello to the rest of the United States and the world.
"This guitar-based four-piece has quietly become a very tight and powerful group-to-be-reckoned-with."
~ John Young, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, June 1989
"Res Ipsa Loquitur", which earned 2 nominations at the 1989 In Pittsburgh Music Awards (Album of the Year, Best New Band), features the "soaring vocals and emotional lyrics" of Ray McLaughlin (Orange Velvet Chairs, Chancellorpink) and the "Euro-style guitar work" of Mark Urbano (Mace, Una de Luna, Chupacabra). Here are the original 14 songs (and one bonus track), including the 1988 WXXP regular rotation commercial radio hit "Climb the Scene", as well as 2 songs ("All Alone in Rock 'n Roll" and "Chancellor Pink") which both finished in WPTS radio's Top 50 songs of 1987.
"McLaughlin enunciates a lot better than vintage Michael Stipe, and he belts the vocals with more of a rough, masculine, dramatic feel."
~ Peter B. King, Pittsburgh Press, September 1989
"Res Ipsa Loquitur", which features the impressive rhythm section of Buddy B. (Prague, Chupacabra) on bass and Jim Perry (White Wreckage, Between the Waters) on drums, also includes the air-tight ass kickers "Anthem" and "Everything You Are", along with "My Baby Cries", a song In Pittsburgh called "one of the most infectious songs done by one of our locals, ever." The album was expertly produced by Mike Michalski (The Heretics, The Cynics, The Kelly Affair) and engineered by Gregg Vizza at Audiomation Studios, during in the summers of 1987 and 1988. Cover artwork and design by Kurt Shaw, who is now the Art Critic for the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.
Simply put, Six Gun Jury's "Res Ipsa Loquitur" is one of the hidden gems of 80s college alternative rock.
