Search - Joboj :: X

Joboj (a.k.a. Joe Bochar) is sick in the head. His latest Nyquil induced album is like a bipolar patient short on meds. Frantic, finger-twisting solos punctuate the furiously fast songs with intent, while melodic refrains toss and turn on a bed of phat beats. Prepare for an aural assault: This is Joboj. This is X. Masterminded by a guy who knows more about do-it-yourself than The Home Depot, Joboj writes, records and plays it all in his home studio. A conceptual departure from his previous three CDs, "X" obliterates the rules resulting in an experience that is definitely not your typical guitar CD. Ranging from hardcore ("Chest Compression v.6", "X") to trip hop/electronica ("Zero", "Tryptophen Junkie") to acoustic ("Blackthumb", "Bitch") to just plain crazy guitar ("Stool", "Screaming Chicken"), this disc caters to a diverse palate of styles, while maintaining an overall sound that is distinctly Joe. As the most insane guitarist you think you?ve never heard, Joboj has covertly been creeping into the mainstream via play on such television shows as VH-1?s Bands On The Run, and MTV?s The Real World, Road Rules, and Undressed. His work can also be heard on demos for Cakewalk?s Guitar Tracks Pro, Sonar, and Fernandes Guitars. In December 2002, Morley Pedals will launch an advertising campaign featuring the JOBOJ "jam tracks" disc entitled "Chocolate". Unlike anything on the market, "X" is the ultimate anti-boy band, anti-pop, anti-establishment in your face album that refuses to be ignored. "X" is no longer marks the spot, it IS the spot.
