about
Jank 1000 (J1K) was a suburban pop punk band that combined catchy, hook filled songs with clever and intelligent lyrics. J1K was originally formed in late 1998, in the suburbs of Omaha, NE. The band consisted of Matty Lewis on lead vocals and guitar, bassist Danny Isgro and drummer Jake Horrocks. The trio quickly gained a small following and after their first independent EP release "Suburban Punks Are Go!!" became the front runners in the Nebraska punk scene. The band continued to expand their growing fanbase by playing with major national bands such as The Ataris, ALL, Rx Bandits, The Hippos, The Impossibles, Sugarcult, and Catch 22, and touring around the Midwest area. In the year 2000, after the release of their first independent full-length CD "My Love Notes And Her Death Threats", J1K gained recognition from The Album Network as a Regional Best Seller. Both of the band's releases spent several months atop the local album chart in Omaha, and the band's first single "Misty 540°" received extensive radio airplay. The band quickly built a strong following, and immediately became a force in the Omaha-area punk scene.The band continued touring and energizing crowds with their powerful live shows. In 2001, J1K grabbed the attention of Singerman Entertainment whose roster included Zebrahead, The Misfits, Motörhead, and Dokken. After replacing Horrocks with Albert Kurniawan, J1K soon broke out of the Midwest and made their way to take on the Southern California punk scene. The
