Despite the fact that southern Alberta isn’t the ideal setting for the evolution of punk, the Sophmore Jakes have melded their own version of power pop punk rock scanning their own moral and cultural beliefs into well rounded and mature anthems for today’s youth. Drawing from influences such as the Clash, the Police, Red Hot Chilli Peppers and Blink-182 the Sophmore Jakes are devout storytellers with a keen sense of humour and love of political satire.The Sophmore Jakes have been together and touring for the last four years bringing their high energy show to small time clubs and big time music festivals. Never needing a reason to get back on the road Sophmore Jakes continue to site the musician credo "any excuse to play"Although the power trio (age ranging from 19 to 21) remain rather young working in the music industry, they continue to smith their songs with the maturity and work ethic of seasoned songwriters.
During the summer of 2006 the boys took a much needed break to write and record their first full length and self titled album, an exquisite collection of ten songs bridging the gap between politics, heartbreak, love and revenge.Releasing the album nation wide in HMV's, Cd Plus and Independent music stores as well as internet retailers such as itunes, pure tracks and on their website (www.sophmorejakes.com)
the Jakes continue to tour tirelessly and bring their music to anyone and everyone in hopes to create a better understanding towards political and environmental awareness and tolerance.You know, like the Falcon."A punch in the face has likley never been so much fun!
