The Ridiculous Discography: Related Bands

All the members of J Church have released records with other bands. This page can only be a partial document. It only includes the main band members who appeared on J Church recordings. It does not list, for example, Manda Rin from Bis who provided additional vocals for some songs on the Cat Food album, or Duncan from Snuff who filled in on drums for a few shows. Compilation appearances are also excluded.

Lance and Gardner appear on all Cringer releases and Adam, Andee, David and Jeff are on all their bands' records below. Other members of J Church may not appear on all the recordings by their other bands; such verification is a near-impossible task.
