Review by Marco Orellana

Bloody Show by Nicholas Tremulis Band: A Jazz-Rock Journey That Sticks With You Let’s get real here—when you hear “Bloody Show,” it doesn’t exactly scream "jazz album." But man, once you dive into this 1996 release from the Nicholas Tremulis Band, something grabs hold of your soul and refuses to let go. It’s jazz-rock with teeth, a raw energy that feels like late-night conversations in smoky rooms where everyone's got a story they're itching to tell. The record kicks off with poetry by Gregory Corso, which sets an edgy tone right away. Like, who does that? Who brings poetry into their music these days? And yet, somehow, it works. The whole vibe is gritty but soulful, chaotic but deliberate. If you’re looking for cookie-cutter tunes, keep moving. This isn’t that. Now, I gotta talk about two tracks that hit me hard: Suicide Doors and Lost On Purpose. Suicide Doors hits like a sucker punch. There’s this jagged guitar riff that just claws at you, while Tremulis’ voice cracks open emotions most people try to bury. Lyrically, it feels like he’s dragging secrets out of shadows—you can almost picture someone standing on the edge of a decision they’ll regret forever. Man, it’s heavy stuff, but in the best way possible. Every time I listen to it, I feel like I need to sit down afterward and breathe. Then there’s Lost On Purpose, which flips the script entirely. Where Suicide Doors punches, this one soothes. It’s slower, more reflective, almost like staring out a rain-streaked window as memories play back in soft focus. The melody wraps around you like an old blanket, warm but tinged with sadness. By the end, you realize you’ve been holding your breath without even noticing. What sticks with me about these songs—and really the whole album—is how unapologetically human it feels. These aren’t polished pop hits designed to climb charts; they’re messy, alive, full of flaws and beauty all at once. It’s like listening to someone spill their guts over a cup of coffee, except instead of coffee, it’s whiskey, and instead of guts, it’s poetry. Here’s the kicker though: after listening to Bloody Show, I found myself thinking about my own life differently. Not because it gave me answers or anything corny like that, but because it made me ask tougher questions. Like, why do we spend so much time trying to tidy up our stories when maybe the ugly parts are what make them worth telling? Oh, and one last thing—I still can’t figure out if the repeated track titles (On The Walls Of A Dull Furnished Room / Clear Thinking / Spirit) were intentional or just a weird printing error. Either way, it adds to the charm. Fucked up and beautiful, just like life itself.

Interesting fact about Album

Here’s something cool: The album *Bloody Show* by Nicholas Tremulis Band isn’t just a jazz-rock gem—it’s also a meeting of art forms. It features poetry by Gregory Corso, a key figure in the Beat Generation. Tracks like "Flowers In A Chinese Vase" and "Suicide Doors" blend raw musical energy with Corso’s poetic depth. Released in 1996 on Black Vinyl Records, it’s a unique mix of literary grit and groove. How often do you get to hear jazz-rock inspired by one of the most rebellious poetic voices of the 20th century?
