Artist Profile

Bodyjar

For over a decade BODYJAR have experienced the complete gamut of rock … from playing to 3 people at the humble Tote Hotel, Collingwood to playing in front of 45,000 punters in Korea and selling out shows in Japan. They’ve been in the Who Weekly crossword, been referenced on "Neighbours", ignored by "Home And Away", and seemingly less importantly, ignored by Australian commercial radio … cos in the end the JAR still managed to pick up a couple of Gold Records along their way without any real support from mainstream radio. Guess there’s no fooling punters who know great music when they hear it.

Viva the underground !

BODYJAR had the privilege of producing numerous releases including two albums working with punk legends Bill Stevenson (Black Flag / Descendents) and Stephen Egerton (All), as well as working closely over many years with rip-snorting punk song-smith Phil Rose of seminal Aussie pop-punk band Nursery Crimes. BODYJAR also released albums internationally and locally on classic punk labels such as ‘Revelation’, ‘Burning Heart’ and ‘Shock’. US skate legend Steve Cabellero personally insisted that BODYJAR accompany his video parts in the Tony Hawk video game. Hell the boys even got to hang with the farewell king … Farnsey !

Make no mistake though, BODYJAR are one of the most respected punk bands in the world… the band can count amongst it’s fans members of Millencolin, Bad Religion, The Foo Fighters and NO FX.
