COMRADE JACK HISTORY

COMRADE JACK IS AN ENERGETIC PUNK/SKA/GRUNGE BAND FROM EUGENE/CORVALLIS, OREGON. WE HAVE BEEN TOGETHER SINCE DECEMBER 1998. WE STARTED OUT RECORDING A CD UNDER THE NAME POSER POSSE AT A TEACHER'S OF OUR'S HOUSE. THE ONLY INSTRUMENT THE BAND ACTUALLY OWNED WAS A GUITAR AND AN AMP. AFTER LONG HOURS OF WORK (AND GRADUATION MONEY) WE WERE ABLE TO PURCHASE INSTRUMENTS OF OUR OWN. WE THEN RECORDED A DEMO IN TONY'S GARAGE, AND SOLD THEM AT OUR SHOWS. AFTER ABOUT 6 MONTHS WE FOUND OUT THAT JON WOULD BE LEAVING THE BAND TO MOVE TO NORTH CAROLINA. WE DECIDED TO RECORD A FULL-LENGTH ALBUM BEFORE HE LEFT. SO WE DID. THEN BRIAN LEFT THE BAND AND WE PICKED UP TWO PEOPLE TO REPLACE JON AND BRIAN. TOBY BECAME THE GUITAR PLAYER AND LOREN FILLED IN THE BASS POSITION. WE WROTE NEW SONGS AND STARTED PLAYING PARTIES, AND HERE WE ARE!
