After over two years on hiatus following their fifth album Blow it Up, JJAHBG returned with their long-awaited sixth full length album. The mad talents of this genre bending pop collective are on full display on Performance Enhanced Music, mashing rock, blues, r&b, house, dance, industrial, and more into 11 unstoppably catchy tracks. Whether it’s the beats and ethereal vocals of Slate, the aggressive guitars and distorted yells of Jesse, the guitar and bass work of The Firegod and Stan, or even the German rap of guest Ornacio Fierce, there is much to love in new album Performance Enhanced Music. It’s an album that catches you the first time, and grows even better on repeated listens.

Lyrics
Cheyenne’s mailbox blues
Chey woke up in the morning
She wanted some mail today
She opened up that mailbox
But there was no mail in the way
No mail
No mail
Ah yeah
Chey cries about it
Chey whines about it
Chey dies without it
That mail, that mail, that mail
That mail, that mail, that mail
Chey came in through the door
She don’t have a thing to say
I took one look at her face
And knew that no mail came today
Ah yeah
Chey cries about it
Chey whines about it
Chey dies without it
That mail, that mail, that mail
That mail, that mail, that mail
All she wanted was a letter
A magazine, a bill would be better
She’d sign up for the mailing list
Too young, the jerks won’t let her
That mail, that mail, that mail
That mail, that mail, that mail
Chey cries about it
Chey whines about it
Chey dies without it
That mail, that mail, that mail
That mail, that mail, that mail
Chey cries about it
Chey whines about it
Chey dies without it
That mail, that mail, that mail
That mail, that mail, that mail
That mail, that mail, that mail
That mail, that mail, that mail
Sometimes I wear leather
Sometimes
Sometimes I wake up from zombies in my dreams
Sometimes
Sometimes they surround me and nowhere to hide
Sometimes I wear leather just to take them down
Sometimes I offer them a facial cleanser
Sometimes
Sometimes
Sometimes
Sometimes
This time
This time there is no place untouched by zombie hands
This time
This time no one is left alive but me
This time I raid the ever present armory
This time my auto shotgun is the only hero left in Zombie Land
I will survive
I will thrive
I will franchise my likeness and stack that paper
I will survive
Yeah, I will thrive
I will franchise my likeness and stack that paper to the sky
To the sky
Sometimes I outrun them
Because they walk so slowly
Sometimes I outrun them
Because they walk so slowly
I will survive
I will thrive
I will franchise my likeness and stack that paper
I will survive
Yeah, I will thrive
I will franchise my likeness and stack that paper to the sky
To the sky
Mudkat
Cruising down the street in his red ford ranger
Something about the glint in his eye spells danger
Something about the way his shorts hug his ass
Makes them come running, come running fast
Who is that man with the rock video?
With the multiple children and the business he owns?
Who is the man with AAA for his cars?
You know what I’m smelling
They’re all mudhens
You know they all like him
Mudhens
You know he don't like them
Mudhens
What you going to do when you hit the big 5-0 still looking good?
They’re all mudhens
You know they all like him
Mudhens
You know he don't like them
Mudhens
What you going to do when you hit the big 5-0 still looking good?
Hes irresistible to the opposite faction
Something in the way of animal attraction
Something he does to aging females
Who weigh a little more, leaving ass contrails
There’s a little lady who lives in the building
Could use a facial wax, got fur like a quilting
Loves to get her back scratched, loves to get her ass smacked
Gives a little purr when he caresses his guitar neck
She’s a mudkat
You know that she likes him
Mudkat
He really don't like them
Mudkat
What you going to do when you hit the big 5-0 still looking good?
She’s a mudkat
You know that she likes him
Mudkat
He really don't like them
Mudkat
What you going to do when you hit the big 5-0 still looking good?
He calls her lumpy
He says “Girl, you huge”
When he bugs her every afternoon
She may growl, she may hiss
But what she wants is to give a big wet kiss
She’s a mudkat
You know that she likes him
Mudkat
He really don't like them
Mudkat
What you going to do when you hit the big 5-0 still looking good?
She’s a mudkat
You know that she likes him
Mudkat
He really don't like them
Mudkat
What you going to do when you hit the big 5-0 still looking good?
They’re all mudhens
You know they all like him
Mudhens
You know he don't like them
Mudhens
What you going to do when you hit the big 5-0 still looking good?
They’re all mudhens
You know they all like him
Mudhens
You know he don't like them
Mudhens
What you going to do when you hit the big 5-0 still looking good?
They’re all mudhens
You know they all like him
Mudhens
You know he don't like them
Mudhens
What you going to do when you hit the big 5-0 still looking good?
Sour patch kid
Throw a brick through the window of the candy store
Throw another and another to widen the hole
Grab me some chocolate and grab me some blow
Oh, you never seen a junkie like this before
I must have my candy and I must have it now
Been jonesing so bad I’ve lost all my Tao
Whining like a puppy dog, dropping like the Dow
Got a pixie stick in my hand and I'll snort it now
The sugar hits my brain, dilates my eyes
See, just a little and I'm feeling fine
Got a jump to my step, a prance to my walk
I can't think straight and I mumble when I talk
I want to run
I want to fly
Ain't nothing as sweet as a sugar high
I want to run
I want to fly
Ain't nothing so sweet as a sugar high
Yeah
I'm a sour patch kid straight off the streets
Some I confuse because I'm sour then sweet
It all depends on how much sugar I get
You think you know foul, you ain't seen nothing yet
Deny me my sweets and I tear shit up
But just give me a Twix, and that'll shut me up
It quiets me down until the sugar kicks in
Then I'm bouncing off the walls, tearing it up again
I want to run
I want to fly
Ain't nothing as sweet as a sugar high
I want to run
I want to fly
Ain't nothing so sweet as a sugar high
Yeah
The sugar hits my brain, dilates my eyes
See, just a little and I'm feeling fine
Got a jump to my step, a prance to my walk
I can't think straight and I babble when I talk
I want to run
I want to fly
Ain't nothing as sweet as a sugar high
I want to run
I want to fly
Ain't nothing so sweet as a sugar high
Yeah
White and furry
Daylight breaks in my window
Waking me to a little face
Set of paws kneading me on my stomach
Tiny claws shredding lace
Silly cat, let me sleep
Don't you know I've been up all night
Streaming rays burn my eyelids
Feels like I've been in a fight
Oh kitty, kitty, kitty
You bug me so
Oh kitty, kitty, kitty
Don't you know
You're white and furry
Get fur everywhere
I've run out of lint rollers
Time to buy some more
It's like I've been tarred and feathered
White is the color of my visions
Fur in the carpet, fur on the mat
Fur on the floor, and fur on the cat
Fur in the car and sticking to the wall
And when I go out shopping i get fur in the mall
Silly cat, its time for a shave
Because I get fur in my hair when I bathe
Oh kitty, kitty, kitty
You bug me so
Oh kitty, kitty, kitty
Don't you know
You're white and furry
Get fur everywhere
I've run out of lint rollers
Time to buy some more
It's like I've been tarred and feathered
White is the color of my visions
White and furry, white and furry
Everything I see is white and furry
White and furry, white and furry
The shape of my mind is white and furry
Kitty kitty kitty cat
Because I know you like that
Oh kitty, kitty, kitty
You bug me so
Oh kitty, kitty, kitty
Don't you know
You're white and furry
Get fur everywhere
I've run out of lint rollers
Time to buy some more
It's like I've been tarred and feathered
White is the color of my visions
Kitty kitty kitty cat
Because I know you like that
penny pocket
Buzzer goes off
You crawl out of bed
For the daily grind
Tie that tie around your neck
Let it warm you when it gets cold
The soulless creatures that want to have their way
With your dignity
Put a penny in your pocket
Put a penny in your pocket
In exchange for your self-respect
Put a penny in your pocket
Put a penny in your pocket
In exchange for your humanity
I get home
How was your day?
Just what the hell am I supposed to say?
I had a blast working late
Home too tired to play
To go to work another day
Another day
Put a penny in your pocket
Put a penny in your pocket
In exchange for your self-respect
Put a penny in your pocket
Put a penny in your pocket
In exchange for your humanity
But the truth is I'm just a money whore
And I work for the man night and day
Because I'm just a tool, yeah
Yeah
She's got a hole to fill
Yes, that hole in her pocket
And she’ll make a way to be whole
Sell her soul willing
Put a penny in my pocket
Put a penny in my pocket
In exchange for my self-respect
Put a, put a
Put a, put a
Put a, put a
Put a, put a
Put a penny my pocket
Pre-Nump
Oh Zelda
You know that I love you
But there’s just one little thing
You should know
You can't have my money
You can’t have my money
Oh baby, I’m sorry
Oh Zelda
You know that I love you
But there’s just one little thing
That I think you should know
No, no, no
You can't have my money
You can’t have my money
Oh baby, no no
No money for you
None
Oh Zelda
You know that I love you
But there’s just one little thing
That I think you should know
No, no, no
You can't have my money
You can’t have my money
Oh baby
No no no money
I’m sorry
You can have any part of me
You can be one of the family
You can even have your way with me
But no, no, no no
You can't have my money
You can’t have my money
Oh baby
No no no
I’m sorry
Oh Zelda
You know that I love you
But there’s just one little thing
That I think you should know
No, no, no
You can't have my money
No, you can’t have my money
No, no baby (You can’t have my money)
I’m sorry (You can’t have my money)
No, no, no money
Oh Zelda
Don't go up those stairs, my friend
All darkness obscuring my sight
All darkness lit by flashing light
The silence presses on my head
I reach out, caress it to the end
She beckons me to the stairs
Where watchful eyes seek to trap me there
Should I stay or should I go?
Don't go up those stairs, my friend
Unless you've got some cash to spend
Don't go up those stairs, my friend
You don't know where that girl has been
Don't go up those stairs, my friend
They'll hustle you and they’ll leave you dead
Don't go up those stairs, my friend
You'll regret it in the end
The impact of gum in my hair
Leads me to believe she don't really care
800 bucks don't go far any more
Two bottles of whiskey I could get at the store
I try to leave, they stop me there
You can't take that whiskey out into fresh air
Should I stay or should I go?
Don't go up those stairs, my friend
Unless you've got some cash to spend
Don't go up those stairs, my friend
You don't know where that girl has been
Don't go up those stairs, my friend
They'll hustle you and they’ll leave you dead
Don't go up those stairs, my friend
You'll regret it in the end
She beckons me to the stairs
Where watchful eyes seek to trap me there
Should I stay or should I go?
Don't go up those stairs, my friend
Unless you've got some cash to spend
Don't go up those stairs, my friend
You don't know where that girl has been
Don't go up those stairs, my friend
They'll hustle you and they’ll leave you dead
Don't go up those stairs, my friend
You'll regret it in the end
Jeannie
Shes a bad mamma-jamma
Uncompromising manner
She is Jeannie (She is Jeannie)
Eyes hit like a hammer
Immune to the flatter
She is Jeannie (She is Jeannie)
She’s a rusty machete stuck into the earth
She was a precocious little baby stillborn at birth
She'll be the death of every man on this earth
She is Jeannie (She is Jeannie)
Feel the hidden stare on the back of your head
Sense the hidden meaning to the words that have been said
Why do I get the feeling I'm another notch on her belt?
Call it intuition
Well it’s just what I have felt
Oh Jeannie
Your love is like a freight train
Oh Jeannie
Your looks are quite the brain drain
I know that you and me
We could be so happy
I'd love to be the one for you but I'm married to the sea
Surprise does not come easy to this calculating girl
But surprise her I did with my dishonest words
Not that shes not cute
I'll tell it like it is
She works right in my office and I don't need this shit
Oh Jeannie
Your love is like a freight train
Oh Jeannie
Your looks are quite the brain drain
I know that you and me
We could be so happy
I'd love to be the one for you but I'm married to the sea
Oh Jeannie
Your love is like a freight train
Oh Jeannie
Your looks are quite the brain drain
Oh Jeannie
Your love is like a freight train
Oh Jeannie
Your looks are quite the brain drain
Oh Jeannie
Your love is like a freight train
Oh Jeannie
Your looks are quite the brain drain
Oh Jeannie
Your love is like a freight train
Oh Jeannie
Your looks are quite the brain drain
I know that you and me
We could be so happy
I'd love to be the one for you but I'm married to the sea
Oh Jeannie
Your love is like a freight train
Oh Jeannie
Your looks are quite the brain drain
I know that you and me
We could be so happy
I'd love to be the one for you but I'm married to the sea
Sad dJ blues
There is a sad sad DJ
Without her gear she can't groove
No
No way to beat her own drum
She’s a sad Slate
