NEW LIVE ALBUM IS IT ALIVE OUT FEB 24th

About Me


Longevity. Not a word that can be aligned with many bands these days, but one that can certainly be applied to Aussie punk legends Bodyjar.
For over a decade now the band has consolidated their local &international following with relentless touring demonstrating the blistering high energy live shows that have made Bodyjar one of the most respected punk bands in the world. The band now boasts hordes of committed fans in Japan. America, Korea and Europe.
Highly respected by their peers, the band can count amongst its fans members of Millencolin, Bad Religion, The Foo Fighters & NO FX.
You wont last long in the fickle music industry without killer songs & the Jar have delivered consistently throughout their career, From the sonic assault of 1998s No Touch Red through to 2000s gold selling How It Works & 2002s Plastic Skies, the Jar have released a string of classic singles including "Not The Same", "One In A Million" & "Too Drunk To Drive".
In 2004 the Jar bid a fond farewell to long time drummer & buddy Ross Hetherington & began a new phase of their career with his replacement, 21 year Moe lad Shane Wakker. Armed with new a drummer a new label and new management and over 50 new tracks, the boys entered Melbourne's Sing Sing studios to record their highly anticipated new self-titled LP, which was released on 12/09/2005. The LPs first single Lights Out topped the JJJ Net-50 chart for several weeks & highlights Bodyjar's uncanny knack of marrying crunchy metallic guitar riffs with a keen sense of melody & passion.
After nearly a decade in the business, Bodyjar's fan base is growing. Many have fallen by the wayside but the mighty Jar are still going strong.
