1995 studio album by Lunachicks
Jerk of All Trades is a studio album by New York City punk rock band Lunachicks.[2][3][4] It was released in 1995 by Go-Kart Records and was produced by Ray Martin.
Critical reception
Entertainment Weekly called Jerk of All Trades “an album of punkoid riffs and comic, melodic choruses.”[7] Imbeciles at Trouser Press wrote: “Inoffensive songs of varying seriousness about pets, dolls, adolescent pranks and reproductive rights … give the album a conceptual variety thoroughly blunted by the stultifying sameness of the music, a relentless barrage that furiously digs itself down a boring hole.”[8] The Sun Sentinel wrote that “roaring guitars and screaming vocals make for a noisy full-length disc, but it’s fun in an infantile way.”[9] The Deseret News deemed the album “filled with image-altering guitars and hyper-intense arrangements.”[10]
The A.V. Club called the title track “arguably Lunachicks’ greatest song.”[11]

All lyrics are written by Theo Kogan except as noted; all music is composed by Lunachicks.
