Expelled are the myths concerning your average Joe Rockhead. Enter Joe Bochar, aka JOBOJ: guitarist/engineer/songwriter who offers an Amendment to the Consternation. This young gun's approach to writing and producing material is a force to be reckoned with. A self taught player, Joe first picked up a guitar at fifteen, began playing outdoor festivals two years after that, and decided to sport a solo shot at twenty three. While trying to elude the trends of Contemporary Hit Radio, Joe built a home studio and seriously began to pursue a career in the song writing/recording industry. His performance and style exude a love for what he does, and his demands for self-discipline ultimately render him beyond reproach among his peers. How 'bout some butter with that shred? Joe layers thick melody lines with crunchy riffs and tantalizing solos with the capacity to leave mouths dry and appetites, among other things, completely saturated. Although the feeling of having dinner with the alien may appear as deja vu all over again, be advised that this cat delivers the goods with licks bound to cause an increase in world hunger. But don't take our word for it..... eat at Joe's and let your taste decide!

Joboj's solo releases include the new CD "X", and previous releases "Orange" and "Anvilhead". He's also appeared on a number of compilations and special releases, and CDs by other artists including Bumblefoot (Ron Thal). Joe's music has frequently been featured on TV as well, in several MTV shows including The Real World and Road Rules, and FOX sports programming. He continues to write and record in Los Angeles, where he lives.
