Jittery,
old fashioned punk rock is The Job's stock and trade. The arrogant,
bastard love child of Joe Strummer and Andy Partridge; The Job snarl
through songs of fighting and fucking. Born in the back of a record
store, reared on the boozy teat of a brewery, Toronto's The Job are
accepting applications. Picture it: a sleepy southwestern Ontario
town (London) at the turn of the century where a love of hip hop culture
brought together four moderately attractive boys from good homes.
Jay (vocals & guitar) and Danny (drums) cut their teeth with indie
hip hop artists Toolshed. Nyles (vocals & guitar) started out
with hip hop act Bread & Water (featuring Shad K). Jay, Nyles
& Mark (bass) continue to play with Thesis Sahib, while Danny
plays with Grassy Knoll & The Magic Bullit. Their fervent belief
in rock & roll prevailed, and The Job was formed in 2007.
Influences:
The Job are the sound of bloody knuckle back alley brawls and nicotine
stained fingers clutching a pittance of money better spent. Moody,
angular & frenetic; they are playing in your impossibly small
apartments with your best girl and your best friends. |
