ALBUM: Breaking Bats for Jesus

Performed as Cezanne
Album Original Release: 2005
Album Re-Release: December 2017

The name “Breaking Bats for Jesus” comes from John’s humorous and incredulous observation of the Power Team — 1980s era evangelical bodybuilders who preached the gospel by performing acts of brute strength, like ripping phone books, smashing concrete and, of course, breaking bats with their bare hands.

critical REVIEW

“Breaking Bats for Jesus is minimalist indie rock that swaggers like a lo-fi Interpol with a hint of shoegazing. … It’s an impressive effort from a guy who couldn’t get signed and decided to do everything (and I mean everything) completely on his own.”
 — Joe Tacopino, PopMatters
