JILL was a
pop-punk band, from San Angelo, TX, that was active from the years
1993 - 1997.
They self-released a 4-song cassette that led to Springbox
Records (Benecia, CA) “signing” the band, releasing
the Scary Thoughts 7” as well as
the Just Like Fonzie EP.
They also released a split 7” with New Jersey pop-punk band
True Zero, on Coolidge Records, and also had a song included on a
7” compilation released on Act Your Age Records.
Their sound could be described as a hooky combination of
Lookout! Records era Green Day, Jawbreaker, and Ramones inspired
bands such as Screeching Weasel.
I got Danny on the phone and this is what we talked

- 80s music
- Writing about girls
- Playing in sketchy bars
- Playing with Jimmy Eat World
- Scrapping a full album that still exists
- The Lavaleans (lava lean ahs)
- Coolidge Records
- The Fonzy Legal Story
- How he met Alan Rappaport

- And a ton more
