Songs on this album:

Politix Jams Compilation is an album containing protest songs, not necessarily Political songs (the name will most likely be changed). It is filled with as many songs as can be held on an album, containing songs from The GrunjPunkins Compilation (the protest songs that couldn't fit on that compilation), and a whole album's worth of new, unreleased material from the "Bass Jams" e.p. and the "California=Entropy" E.p.

This compilation may be released under the GrunjPunkins name like the previous compilation, considering that all of the songs were written for the GrunjPunkins, in that mindset, solo(before I met Jordan or the drummer), and in that era of early songwriting. Because it's under the "Terremoto of the Quietones Presents Politix Jams (GrunjPunkin Compilation Volume II)" name, it will probably be released later on in T.K.O.'s career when we've already released one or two Terremoto Quietone albums, so as to avoid more confusion than would already be there from the first compilation album under Terremoto and The GrunjPunkins name.

This album is made up of protest songs, songs about protest songs, songs about protests in general, and songs about the protest songs on the album itself. The things protested go from serious, controversial, relevant, closeminded/onesided, and maybe offensive topics, to humorous, universally accepted, outdated, openminded, and harmless, joking topics, issues, and standpoints. It's a very critical and touchy album, as is stated in the first song, "Remember your standpoint and prepare to be offended..." This album questions, debates, and protests the following topics: simple-mindedness, hypocrisy, ignorance, peer-pressure, patriotism, anti-patriotism, Christianity, Liberalism, conveniency, commitment, politics, genres, science, etc. This is an experimental album in a sense; considering the many albums that are put out by Liberal punk bands, and few if any conservative ones. The band decided that there should be an alternative to the onesided liberal attacks on God, America, and the Government given by majority of punk bands. Even though this may be a blowup in the face of T.K.O., which would be fatal since it's still the early stages of their career, it's worth a shot, because there needs to be someone, at least one, who will stand and be resistance to the Liberal, relative, antichrist attacks on all that is good. If it isn't for this, the end of the world might as well be tomorrow. But it's still possible that Terremoto of the Quietones may form another band for the sole purpose of being a Christian Protest band, so as people of all different beliefs can listen to T.K.O. and not be offended, which would perhaps lead to harmony. Or maybe they'll just keep releasing protest albums under the grunjpunkins name (or perhaps the name, Washington's '63 Grave Roll- as originally intended by Russell). Perhaps in this movement of rebellion (after all we chose the word Terremoto in our band name to stand for rebellion) against evil, other bands will rise from the underground to join our Terremoto and bring revival to the land through our protests in love and the name of Jesus Christ.

The original songs on this album are a compilation of songs that Russell wrote when he bought his bass guitar. The riffs he wrote using his new bass were the starting points of many of the songs on here, and that is why many of the songs on here revolve around the bass guitar and start out with bass riffs. The other styles on this album for various songs are acoustic punk (similar to the works of Calibretto 13) and several songs have the lead guitar with a ska rhythm.
