“For those unfamiliar with the art rock quartet, the band has toured with (and been highly praised by) fellow GA natives Deerhunter, and their sound is full of disorienting art-rock clamor. With a vibe that calls back to Velvet Underground while pushing forward into detached post-punk territory, Jock Gang have a grasp on both noise and pop, favoring the former but a glimmer of the latter goes a long way. “ - Post-Trash.com

Jock Gang plays harsh art rock, forming abstract sonic paintings with a broad palette of sound. Songs follow intuitive structures, noise grafted onto noise, with subtle pop melodies rising from the din.

>>>“GANG GANG: It’s been nearly four years since we heard any new music from Jock Gang, and it’s gonna be a little longer. That said, the group did release a five-song EP of older, unreleased (aka new to us) stuff last week named Delayed Release Capsule. These five tracks represent the group across a few years with slightly varying lineups, the only constants being Kimberly and Jared Collins. It’s unclear why these songs weren’t included on any other releases, because they’re just as good as anything Jock Gang ever did and hold up well as a stand-alone collection. Quite often, Jock Gang tunes operate via Coco Chanel’s dictum of looking in the mirror and taking one thing off before leaving the house. This is what makes songs like the supremely catchy ‘To Love’ sound complete and confident, as well as lending thoughtful charm to the chime-only ‘OIOIOIO.’ The first track here, titled ‘August 2017,’ is a collapsing yet earworm-worthy cover of Japanese band Les Rallizes Dénudés’ song ‘Night of The Assassins,’ which is constructed entirely atop the bassline of Little Peggy March’s 1963 hit ‘I Will Follow Him.’ In other news, the band is now composed of the aforementioned Collinses plus Jared’s brother Joel, as well as Will Hefner of Athens band Hefner. With the new lineup wanting to clear the decks for new work, it is unlikely that any additional old material will be released. So head to jock-gang.bandcamp.com to hear this and let ‘em know what you think at facebook.com/jockgangband.” - Gordon Lamb https://flagpole.com/music/threats-and-promises/2021/03/03/ice-cream-larrys-instrumental-rock-and-more-music-news-and-gossip/

>>>“On stage the band members of Jock Gang don’t do much, there’s isn’t a lot of movement or banter, it’s just about the music and feeling every chord and riff as they play to their audience. The complexity of their music isn’t going to be for everyone, there isn’t much in the way of traditional harmonies or melodies and the rhythm can change without even a hint that they about to mix it up. But that’s what makes Jock Gang so great and compelling, they are not only trying to challenge the listener, but challenge themselves as musicians along the way. The art rock band brings a dry, strenuous energy to their set that exudes power on a mechanical level, drawing audiences in with an intensity that doesn’t require flashy showmanship. Listening to Jock Gang live somehow becomes just you and the band, and if you are able to get out of your trance and look around, you’ll notice the rest of the audience is right there with you.” Photos, Videos & Live Review: Aldous Harding @ The Earl 6/30/2017

>>>“More than simply untangling the complexity of Jock Gang’s music, the videos also display the ease with which the five piece play off each other without overshadowing any member of the ensemble. Both videos portray Jock Gang at their most nonchalant, but it’s that detached cool which pulls me in, reminding me that I need more.” - PREMIERE: Jock Gang Share a pair of Live Public Radio Sessions - Immersive Atlanta - 4/6/2017

>>>Southern Shelter - Jock Gang - Live at Georgia Theatre - 1/10/2017
>>>“Jock Gang has always relied on the percussive energy of Adrian Benedykt Świtoń, but ‘Paint on the Highway’ takes his mechanical power to new heights. According to guitarist Jared Collins, the direct intensity of the new track is purposeful and reflective of the band’s upcoming album. He explains, ‘The feedback overlay makes it sound really trashy but the quality is a conscious choice. The album sort of flows between trashy and silky.’” - Immersive Atlanta Immersive Atlanta - PREMIERE: JOCK GANG – PAINT ON THE HIGHWAY - 1/9/2017
>>>“It’s only been two years since Kimberly Collins and Jared Collins founded Jock Gang in Athens, but the ever-growing band has established a firm foothold in Atlanta since their move and the addition of Jonathan Merenivitch (Shepherds), Adrian Benedykt Świtoń (Shepherds), and Garrett Burke (Art Contest). Following the release of their debut EP last February, the five-piece embarked on a national tour with Deerhunter. Not only did the tour broaden the group’s reach, it sharpened their sound from meandering art rock into more precise, yet eccentric territory. Currently, the band is working on a new album which will feature the same lo-fi style of their debut EP, but according to Collins the record is “generally more cohesive than our first release.” Though the details of the LP are still under wraps, the band plans on releasing a single soon. In addition, Jock Gang has recently signed with a booking agency and plans to tour in April after releasing the record.” - Immersive Atlanta Immersive Atlanta - 25 Local Artists to Watch For in 2017 - 1/5/2017
>>> “Atlanta, by the way of Athens, Jock Gang (Kimberly Collins, Jared Collins, Jonathan Merenivitch, Adrian Switon, and Garrett Burke) opened up the show. Jock Gang originally started band life as k i d s (Jared Collins and Kimberly Collins), and evolved into Jock Gang. The band came to the attention of Danger Mouse, who used the band’s track ‘Tell Me About It’ on his EP, released on 30th Century Records Compilation Volume 1.” We Heart Music - Deerhunter at First Avenue, Minneapolis - 10/29/2016
>>>Jerome Eno Photography - Jock Gang @ Webster Hall - 10/24/2016
>>>Chicago Reader - Deerhunter, Aldous Harding, Jock Gang - 10/21/2016
>>>“Deerhunter have been doing a lot of touring in support of last year’s great Fading Frontier, and they’ve just announced more dates. The band will have a six-piece lineup for this tour, with Rhasaan Manning and Javier Morales joining them. Support comes from a newer batch of Atlanta art rockers, Jock Gang, and the very promising Flying Nun signee Aldous Harding.” Brooklyn Vegan - Deerhunter Touring as a 6 piece band with Aldous Harding and Jock Gang - 8/9/2016
>>>Brooklyn Vegan - Aldous Harding reissuing debut LP on Flying Nun in the US, touring with Deerhunter - 8/9/2016
>>>“A blistering duo of California rock and roll acts made their way to 529 last Thursday to perform aside local openers Jock Gang. Led by guitarist/vocalist Jared Collins, and featuring members of Atlanta stalwarts Shepherds and Bataille, Jock Gang and can be best described as lo-fi art rock. Despite their reputation for harsh dissonance, the group performed a very clean, mysterious, and tight set that set the dial for the next act, Los Angeles psych-punks Death Valley Girls.” - Immersive Atlanta Immersive Atlanta - PHOTOS: L.A. WITCH, DEATH VALLEY GIRLS, JOCK GANG AT 529 - 5/18/2016
>>>“All you need to know is that it's alternately nervous and chill, subdued and in-your-face, self-consciously artsy and intelligently straightforward. The guitar tracks are nicely textured such that they're sometimes smooth sheets of barely-there sound and other times spindly, reedy and vibrating in a way that teeters on being totally out of tune. The next-to-last track is the previously released “Tell Me About It,” which you first heard on the Danger Mouse-coordinated 30th Century Records Compilation Volume 1.” - Flagpole Flagpole - Threats & Promises - Jock Gang and Tom Visions release new projects - 3/9/2016
>>>"Less linear than their live performances, the record is filled with minute flourishes and idiosyncrasies which peek from beneath reverb and establish Jock Gang as a project more than as a band. Sure, anyone could make comparisons to Suicide, Bauhaus, or even David Lynch, but there is a willingness to experiment here that is so far from pretension, it might even be considered fun — albeit some pretty depressing fun." - Immersive Atlanta Immersive Atlanta - REVIEW: JOCK GANG – JOCK GANG - 3/8/2016
