Just a few month's removed from "an emotionally driven masterpiece that breeds elements of a multitude of genres…. all done with a certain haunt and edginess to it that has a way of grabbing at you.” (Buzz Slayers) — Justin John Scheck has created a new Album, the 3rd of 5 Concept Albums in a Series entitled The Blue-Collar Diaries. This time around, it all started with Electric Guitar and Drums. It is an ode to Grunge, Industrial Music, Blues Rock and Trip-Hop. What the Artist/Multi-Instrumentalist/Producer claims he swung for was "As if Tom Waits and Kurt Cobain went back to the 19th Century and taught Pirates about music and music Production." The Sparrow’s Morning War Cry is sometimes melancholy Dance music, and sometimes nearly all String Arrangements and Choir Sections. Conceptually the Album is about JJS’s struggles with Mental Illness and Addiction.

“Scheck’s sonic alchemy transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary, leaving an indelible imprint on the musical landscape.”
