JOSKI formed in London in May 2001, playing their first show a month later.
Constant gigging and two self-produced EP's distributed at shows and from
their website, saw headlining All-Ages shows to 800 people by December 2001.
The recording and self-release of the Direction Finding EP in early 2002
meant that the JOSKI word spread further, and quicker. A mailing list of a
thousand fans, 500 hits a day on www.joski.co.uk, near-constant live
appearances, and the support of one Jacoby Shaddix of Papa Roach, all helped
to fuel the fire.
Radio play from Steve Lamacq on Radio 1, John Kennedy on XFM and Jon Patrick
on Total FM in early Summer 2002, gave JOSKI exposure to a wider audience.
Offers of supports with InMe, Fony and Number One Son followed, as well as
industry interest. Word spread quickly among the alternative community on
the web, winning JOSKI fans from the United States to Singapore and
everywhere in between.
JOSKI write music that is dynamic, accessible, emotional and original.
Their musicianship is honed and their performances are driven by energy and
passion for what they do.
JOSKI release there deut single "Chorus" with video on Casket Music on
July 28th.
JOSKI are Ben (Bass & Lead Vocals),
Giles (Guitars and Vocals),
Neil (Guitars), and Jason (Drums).
