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.
