Like a Four wheel Drive, Hogjaw, have taken the off-road into the music industry head-on.
Brandishing they’re own trail of rock & roll, Hogjaw, have brought back the sound of pure
listening. Cranking tunes and bringing music back for the people that can be understood by
all walks. With vocals telling stories, guitar blazing & drums thundering: Hogjaw’s debut
record’s “Devil in the Details”& “Ironwood” are going to come at you like a freight train
of sound!
Hailing from the desert land of Arizona – Hogjaw is bringing in the rock from the Southwest.
The quartet includes; Jonboat Jones (vocals/guitar), Kreg Self (lead guitar), Elvis DD (Bass)
& J. "Kwall" Kowalski (drums) deliver a dose of genuine rocking goodness.
Hogjaw was formed in late 2006 through the power of jamming…” when we realized what we had, it
just snowballed.” Everyone in the band are standing friends from High School with one common
goal, rocking, it became almost instant for the music to develop. With years of playing in label
bands, touring afar, and playing beat-up acoustic guitars in and around the hills, these guys
find their talents on a way of their own. It is spoken through the songs…and with support from
everyone surrounding Hogjaw….things couldn’t be more fun for the group!
The band has had the opportunity to spend 2010 on a U.S TOUR, traveling the states playing music
from: Major events, to playing Clubs and Bars with acts like; Cowboy Mouth, Helmet, Valiant Thorr,
Rail benders, Gin Blossoms, Jimmy Van Zant, etc. The album “ Devil in the Details” was in the
top sales for ‘08 &‘09 at CDBABY.com, they’re videos have been in the top 10 at “OurStage.com”
and also the record has been picked up by European & English distributers with turn around sales.
Locally the group recently had their CD acknowledged as top 5 record of the year by “you asked for
it” at the Phoenix New times… Also with a nomination in the hardrock category for the new times
“summer of sound” concert series ‘09.
Now, with the 2nd installment to the catalog is “Ironwood.” Two years after the first release (“Devil
in the Details”) the band is still on course. Singing songs that define the artists and keeping
true to what they stand for. The sophomore record shows more growth from the quartet, which is
what you would expect a group to do, like taking a top 1 spot at cdbaby.com in ’10 for 3
straight weeks in sales. It also has a song added to a 3GUNNATION episode, a cable TV show
-Versus network.
So, just when you think the band is relaxing; think again! Hogjaw is currently in production with
a DVD featuring; interviews, videos, live footage & behind the scenes stuff– doing what they
love best, making music. In August the group is releasing a limited edition 250 copies of “Ironwood”
on Vinyl. plans to Tour the U.S again & Europe are in the works to support its current release.
So, with the hopes the band continues to grow with its grass-roots fan base of… Hogjaw will
continue to make music and keep rockin in this free world!
