Despite the fact that southern Alberta isn't the ideal setting for the evolution of punk, the Sophmore Jakes have melded their own version of indie power pop punk rock scanning their own moral and cultural beliefs into well rounded and mature anthems for today's youth. Drawing from influences such as the Clash, the Beatles and Angela lansbury, the Sophmore Jakes are devout storytellers with a keen sense of humor and love of satire.

Although the power trio (age ranging from 20 to 24) remain rather young working in the music industry, they continue to smith their songs with the maturity and work ethic of seasoned songwriters.

The Sophmore Jakes have been together and touring for the last six years bringing their high energy show to small time clubs and big time music festivals. Never needing a reason to get back on the road Sophmore Jakes continue to site the musician credo "any excuse to get out and play". Because of their determination and hard work they continue to tour playing to their rapidly growing fan base.

During the summer of 2006 the boys took a much needed break to write and record their first full length and self titled album, an exquisite collection of ten songs bridging the gap between politics, heartbreak, love and revenge.

Releasing the album nation wide in HMV's, Cd Plus and Independent music stores as well as internet retailers such as i tunes, pure tracks and Amazon.ca

After a lineup change in 2009 with the addition of Jessie Goodfellow on drums Sophmore Jakes began writing for their second album due out fall 2010.

The Jakes continue to tour tirelessly and bring their music to anyone and everyone, making new friends and having an all around good time.
