Jon Spencer – Songs of Personal Loss and Protest: Reviews / Interviews

Posted on June 13, 2026 by admin

Jon Spencer – Songs of Personal Loss and Protest

“Jon Spencer is back with his first album since 2024’s Sick Of Being Sick!. With this album, Songs Of Personal Loss And Protest, Spencer is joined by his touring trio, Kendall Wind (bass, vocals, guitar, piano organ) and Macky Spider Bowman (drums, vocals, percussion). And this is a powerhouse trio. They make a glorious noise, which is a combination of punk and straight rock. Spencer’s vocals are wonderful and entertaining. This is loud, in your face rock with attitude.

Songs Of Personal Loss And Protest is not a concept album, but it does have a theme. This is an album about surviving in the crazy world of today, both on a personal note and as someone fighting for political freedom. It may sound heavy, but in Spencer’s hands, it is exciting and invigorating. “Give It Up 4 The Devil” is a great example of how the world’s ills can impact one, but it does not mean giving up. Or the bluesy “Mr. Lion.” Again, Spencer’s vocals win the listener over with his allegory. It is a brilliant song…” – Spill Magazine

…Spencer sounds like he’s happy to rock with a rhythm section that can deliver muscle and groove in equal portions, and Songs of Personal Loss and Protest is one of his best realized projects in some time, a bit more subdued than classic JSBX but a superb evocation of what he does best and a sonic second wind from one of indie rock’s great wild card talents.” – All Music

Jon Spencer – The Dome, London: Photos

Posted on June 13, 2026 by admin

Huge set of photos from Jon Spencer and Ye Nuns live at The Dome, London, UK (5 June 2026) by Jeff Pitcher.

“”No restrictions. AAA pass. Use the stage. And please do that wide-angle flash thing you do.”
Jon Spencer knows his shit.

And what a night this was – equal parts garage gospel and political holy-fire revival, held together by Jon’s cryptic spoken-word sermons, split-second signals, and instinctive, full-blown rock’n’roll power, baby – Jon Kendall Spider Rule.

Super support from Spencer’s hand-picked saints of noise, Ye Nuns, and we all know how gloriously habit-forming they are.

A righteous racket. Exactly as the good Lord of rock’n’roll intended. Amen.”

Jon Spencer – Kreative Kontrol Ep. #1103: NEW INTERVIEW

Posted on June 11, 2026 by admin

Jon Spencer – Kreative Kontrol Ep. #1103, new interview with Vish Khanna.

“Jon Spencer returns to discuss his new album Songs of Personal Loss and Protest, making the trek to play shows in Canadian cities like Edmonton, the uncertain status of Jon Spencer and the HITmakers, how his new trio featuring Kendall Wind and Macky Bowman came to be and whether or not this band will have a name, the comprehensive Jon Spencer fan site, Pop Catastrophe, what it’s like playing in a band with/relating to much younger musicians, their tremendous musical knowledge and skills, writing these new songs collaboratively, digging into this fraught socio-political moment in time while also mourning the loss of loved ones, working with Deke Dickerson, American cultural erasure, marginalization, and Little Richard, exhibiting empathy for evil people, the artistic burden of doing promotional work that show promoters used to do, upcoming tour dates, other future plans, and much more.”
