For this week’s edition of the 7-inch corner, we pay tribute to the late Lance Hann, leader of J-Church who passed away early last week. Being down at the Fest this past weekend, Lance was definitely on the minds of many. Many shows began, ended with or featured some sort of commentry about Lance and the contributions he made to the scene we were all apart of that weekend, along with all the standards he helped maintain. I’ll admit, I was always a casual J-Church fan but the stuff I do have, I really dig. An example of this is the split between J-Church and Off With Their Heads entitled the Grin It And Bear It EP.  The two songs are examples of the type of pop punk that Lance Hann will forever be enshrined for. It also contains one of the best covers I’ve heard with their rendition of Snuff’s “Too Late.”

Everyone says Lance was one of the greatest people you could have possibly met. I may have never had the pleasure but we’ll always have the music to discover his messages. RIP Lance.
