A “Jack Chick tract”-style pamphlet from the Los Angeles band POPDeFect, promoting their 1992 album, Punchdrunk.
The second Jack Chick tract parody in my collection of music-related paper ephemera, this one from the band POPDeFect really goes all-in on not just the style but the form. I’ve scanned all the pages here so you can see the full story, mixing art clearly grabbed from actual Jack Chick tracts with the band’s own. Also, as I fellow radio DJ, I do love that KXLU DJ “Charlie” in here looks to be a reference to an actual person.
While I have a few POPDeFect 7″ singles, I wasn’t that that familiar with the band’s story. But it turns out that they were formed right here in Seattle, with one of the members leaving to form legendary punk outfit U-Men.
