Feedback for Lamp Post Bouquet
"Lampost Bouquet - another great release, it's on repeat! So far there are no standout tracks as it is all so damn good !"
"Lamp Post Bouquet...10 killer songs pressed together on a little disk...but what a disk!! JOK is going to conquer the world...watch your back!!!!"
"i can't think of any praise that can do this new album justice- it's simply the best damn thing i've ever heard! brightened up a low point in my life. the only downside is that it ends!"
Feedback for El Amigo JOK
"awesome cd mate. bloodstream is one of the best songs i've heard in years.
i shit you not."
"just got my copy of the JOK album through the mail and i just love it.Fav song for now is texaco,where can i find those lyrics??"
"El Amigo Jok - just got it through the letter box. Fantastic - Thanks. Standout track so far is Bloodstream, but they are all excellent. So the question is, when will the previous cd be available by mailorder !"
"alright mate. kenny sent me the new cd. it's so damn infectious that i will have to see a doctor. i told kenny hennighan the same. i'm a proud muso wanker and very rarely throw flowers but you guys are fucking great. do not stop."
"dear mr jok, it was really really painful but i just had sex with your cd. it was like watching the meat grinder scene from "the exterminator."
was it good for you?"
"though i'm not old enough to really have any authority on this subject, your album is really one of the best i've heard this century! keep doing what you're doing! :)"
"El Amigo Jok is excellent! right up there with CNN/Tinstar, but a return to rock! everyone should go and buy it.
look forward to the new stuff."
Feedback for Strangers Have The Best Candy
"top notch and great to hear some reworkings of old tunes such as Esther's Letter. Gambit is an almost brutal aural assault. Keep 'em coming..."
"It's turned up. It's wicked. Loving the rocked up version of "Picture Of A Girl" and if it isn't the old B-Side "Gambit" still rocking like a bastard! Wicked stuff!"
“These punkitude freestylers are gonna light the end of a large stick marked TNT, throw it into the air and watch the raw garage explosion rip and roll!!!” The Bull & Gate gig listings.
Quietly plying his trade whilst all around him the world changed, true to his vision-less idea of freedom Jok finally put his foot down five years ago jan2002 and a plethora of ideas became a band. And what a band. Featuring Jok on vox and a rhythm guitar which he plays with strict abandon under the watchful eye of Lucy Temple, bastard bastard of a dead child star, lead virtuoso of unfathomable depths, accompanied in time by Tony Phones - Tony Phones to ALL who know him and Hands Randall a bass player who keeps his fingers well and truly in God’s hands.
"Together we die" - a thought for our times. "Bad company" - a banner.
Their choice of covers comes without 4thought - they dig their own graves with precision cos nothing worthwhile ever lasts forever but the hands of the critics are soiled and will never sully the memories.
Jok. Four guys in a band. Love them 4ever or 4ever be damned.
This page is maintained and updated by Hands Randall. Jok is occasionally involved but it's best to attempt to communicate with him via the usual (non-technological) channels. For band bookings feel free to contact hands@jok-uk.com.
Jok adds his vocals to "SLEEPY RIVERS". The eponymous debut album is now available for download on iTunes. It's late night tales and trails in dub, ambient, electronica feature Jok on vocals with Bertie ..boards and Turtle on guitars.
