SPB premiere: by Jason Paul + the Know It Alls

Earlier this summer Jason Paul + the Know It Alls released a new LP of chill San Pedro, CA punk called I’m Absolutely Terrified.

Now, the band is back with a brand new video for the wonderfully titled "The Hurt Hurt The Hurt," directed by Philo Wray. The song is obvious in its theme of emotional suffering and acceptance, yet equally vague and open-ended -- a fitting reflection of how the band balances quirky wordplay with very real life experiences.

"This is one of those what the hell happened kinda songs," namesake Jason Paul tells us, adding to the mystique. 

Watch/listen and judge for yourself:

The band is currently booking a southeastern US tour for early 2026.

Upcoming shows:

11/9: San Pedro, CA @ The Sardine(solo)

12/10: Los Angeles, CA @ The Escondite 

12/20: San Pedro, CA @ Broken Anchor Studios

It took ‘em four records, but I’m finally checking out the brand new Alien or Martian?, released this April.Suffice to say there … Read more
