JACK OBLIVIAN has developed a cult following exploiting everything that makes rock and roll great—raw inept punk, lo-fi blues, distorto pop, rot-gut soul, fuzz-drenched twang... His story started in the ‘90s as a member of the COMPULSIVE GAMBLERS and THE OBLIVIANS, but Yarber has honed his craft on his solo records since. "Yarber clearly knows his way around a catchy chorus, a memorable melody, and a mean guitar lick. In the end, these songs succeed in their simplicity and exquisite lack of bullshit."—Dusted
