Jerry Jerry and the Sons of Rhythm Orchestra is an alternative rock band whose musical style blends elements of surf music, gospel music, rockabilly, garage, and punk. Formed in 1982 by lead singer Jerry Woods in Edmonton, Alberta. Starting out as what Jerry described as a “fuck band,” after time they found themselves becoming a serious local act, prompting them to release their first independent EP Fighting Socialism in 1984. The band continued to play until 2005. As of late 2010, Jerry plays with a punk rock cover band named “Spartans” including original guitarist Paul Soulodre. Battle Hymn of the Apartment was rated No. 74 on Chart’s Top 100 Canadian Albums of All Time reader poll in 1996.
