The Weeklings’ Raspberry Park

From the Neighborhood of Jem Records

The Weeklings Raspberry Park.

Seventeen Songs, Forty min.


Raspberry Park is The Weeklings fifth album

There are three previous studio albums and one full show live recording.


The Weeklings have put together a solid collection of music.

Presenting a tighter view and focus, then previous Weekling offerings.


Bringing their professional experience and collective skill set

to a new understanding of how not to repeat song themes.


Embodying the never ending process

While, all the while, working as timeless servants to their creative and emotional ethos.


There are intro set ups, sequencing the song order

As Easter Eggs of what’s yet to be.

Play on the anticipation of the listeners

To follow into the next songs mysterious lead in.


The four covers are stamped with Weeklings uniqueness.


I’ve Just Seen A Face.

Mr Soul >Satisfaction

featuring Peter Noon of Hermans Hermits on lead vocals.

And Horns by Tommy LaBella and Ian Gray.

I’m on Fire A rockabilly-ish take on a passionate, Bruce Springsteen classic.

She’s Leaving Home featuring John Martin.


With the song “All the Cash in the World”

being selected as the Coolest Song in the World

On Little Steve’s Underground Garage.

And being added to Terri Hemmert Breakfast with the Beatles

93.1 fm WXRT Chicago.


The Weeklings continue to bring their audience to live, dance and love

As one with the neighbors of their ever expanding neighborhood “Asbury Park”


Godspeed to our Year One elders.

Always at the ready to listen and believe in the reinvention of

This communities newer bands.


Call it an oasis of inspiration.

Call upon the elders to stay alive.

Call it back to life when “The Saint” reopens,

Call it Raspberry Park


“The local music scene shall remain

All its lost it shall regain

Seashore washed by the suds and the foam

Been here so long we got to calling it home”


Glen Burtnik Lefty Weekling Bass.

Joe Bellia Smokestack Weekling Drums.

Bob Burger Zeek Weekling Rhythm Guitar.

John Merjave Rocky Weekling Lead Guitar.
