Spring Issue Preview: Purling Hiss, Chiddy Bang, Young Werewolves, Swift Technique and Pierre Robert.

We hung out with the guys from Purling Hiss last weekend, following them around the dark, dank basement of Pi Lam, before their performance was eliminated by campus police (apparently the fraternity had a permit that expired at 11:30, right when Purling Hiss was supposed to play). We even followed frontman Mike Polizze into the graffiti-covered bathroom (below).

You can learn more about Purling Hiss in the spring issue of JUMP, which will be on the streets in early March, right when the guys return from their five-week tour with Dr. Dog.

Our cover boys for the print edition will be the hip hop team Chiddy Bang (below). Our Colin Kerrigan photographed the guys on a rooftop in Fairmount.

We’ll also have a feature about psychobilly/ garage/ horror rockers Young Werewolves (below). Bianca Crespo photographed the band last week.

Our Ashley Hall hung out with the crew from Swift Technique last weekend, apparently occupying a fire station for a while.

Also in the spring issue, you can read about legendary radio host, Pierre Robert (left), who has a copy of the winter issue of JUMP in his studio.
