LOS ANGELES (Top40 Charts/ Jen Militia Official Website) - Once again Jen Militia, the band of illegal rock combatants is embarking on a mission to spread their word by trudging westward to create awareness of who they are and what they represent: Love, Rock, and Revolution. The band will be heading out of Ontario, and playing their way across Canada to British Columbia, then doing the same until they return home. The 8-week mission, deemed The Berlin Airlift Tour, is in support of the release of their second single "5GF".
2007 has been a successful year for Jen Militia so far with the release of their third album Berlin Boot Camp. The album has received rave reviews from the media with the band landing on the cover of several popular weekly magazines. The first single, "This Is Not a Test," has climbed the charts and reached No 48 on commercial rock radio. The band has been playing constantly, notably showcasing at both Canadian Music Week, and North By North East.
Their explosive sound has been described as having the throw down factor of The Clash, the soul of Mary J. Blige, the raps of Ol' Dirty Bastard and the straight funk of Rage Against the Machine.
With The Berlin Airlift tour, Jen Militia are armed and ready to promote "5GF", making ears open to listen for classic lines like "Got 5 girlfriends and no control, but the 2 I love best are rock and roll."
"It's inspiring not only because of the music and their roof?raising live show, but because it makes you feel a part of something bigger." - Patrick Finch (View Magazine)
"It takes balls to have one of the best guitarists in the country (J. Double) and not make a guitar album. But Jen Militia have nothing if not balls. No, this album is as much about beats, bass and lyrical bravado as six-string acrobatics. A ferocious live band, Jen Militia bring all their cocksure charisma to Berlin Boot Camp. Join the army now." - Exclaim Magazine
