Pop-punks
22 Jacks were led by former Wax frontman
Joe Sib and guitarist Steve Soto, an alumnus of
the Adolescents and
Agent Orange. Formed in late 1995, the group recorded its 1996 debut,
Uncle Bob, with guitarist
Jason Cropper, bassist
Scott Shiflett, and drummer Sandy Hansen, all three of whom exited in the wake of the record's completion; with new guitarist Bill Fraenza, bassist
Kelly Lemieux, and drummer
Jose Medeles,
22 Jacks hit the road before returning to the studio to record 1998's Overserved.
Going North followed a year later. ~ Jason Ankeny
