Olympia was a wild place in the early '10s. Olympia is still a wild place, and it was a wild place long before the New Century....but it was definitely a wild place then too. J.O.C.K. was a wild band, and they sound like they should be from Olympia - jerky and weird, kinda epic but also kinda thrown together. Lots of voices coming at you from different parts of the mix, it sounds like a band still searching. Picture them on a bill with RAGANA, but also it lands somewhere between GR'UPS and SPITBOY on the "pick your early '90s reference" chart. If you weren't aware of this chart....well, it exists. No Assumptions dropped in 2012, and J.O.C.K. seem to have dropped out shortly after that, which is too bad.
