**Bio: Jesus Loves Junkies (JLJ)** Jesus Loves Junkies (JLJ) was a band from Tucson, Arizona, formed in late 1994. Their first album was released that same year, and their last album, *The Great Escape From Paradise*, was released in 1998. The band disbanded in 1999. JLJ's name was inspired by Karl Marx's quote regarding religion as the opiate of the masses. Their performances often featured a stained glass window depicting a naked Jesus with a syringe 'phallus' and his "junkie" apostles. Musically, they blended electronic, industrial, and rock elements, creating a sound described as apocalyptic. The band is best known for their song "Escape From Paradise," which appeared on the 2006 compilation album *Music To Go POSTAL By* for the video game *Postal 2*, helping them gain a cult following nearly a decade after their breakup. Although they planned to create a follow-up album titled *End of Line*, the project was ultimately canceled. Jeff Wambolt, the band's singer, is currently involved in a musical project called Nullborn, with their first album, *Them Burning*, expected to be completed in 2023. Wambolt has also worked on other projects, including Hardware Scarecrow and Father Wormwood & Faded Satans. On February 24, 2023, a fan in contact with Jeff confirmed that a new JLJ
