RTX are splitting into BLACK BANANAS. The fruit is ripe and the bread will be FRESH. After three albums under the name RTX, JENNIFER HERREMA and her bunch decided to flip the script, and kick open the doors of perception a little bit. See, RTX was not Royal Trux, not a metal band, not a ‘70s bar band and not a toxic substance; RTX was something, all of those things and none of them and way more, including Black Bananas bubbling in a witchy cauldron of their own herbaceous brew. The title of a song on their RaTX album detailed a bit of the recipe, taking elements often tossed aside or thrown all the way out and combining them into something new and worthwhile…a new strain of the almighty green—to feed and elevate the hungry ones. Black Bananas is set for the next all-inclusive rock and roll crusade, the one that includes even and especially all the shit you don’t like, woven into all the shit you can’t live without. This has been the name of Jennifer’s game from day one; she owns the blueprints and if you don’t know by now, don’t even bother to Google it, cuz understanding is an investment not an action. Jennifer Herrema is not schizophrenic nor does she don many hats. She is simply a singer and simultaneously, a pioneer of comprehensive non-exclusive opposition rock, and Black Bananas is the latest addition to the oeuvre. (STREET DATE - 1/31/2012)
