Artist History
FatKnuckleJack formed in late 2001 and moved quickly to promote themselves and their music. By March of 2002 the band could be found playing all-night shows at local venues, filling four hours with original rock music and upbeat cover songs. The summer and fall brought many more live performances, new original music, and the recording of their first six-song EP, Tomorrow Sounds Good, released in November of 2002. About the same time, FatKnuckleJack appeared in both the Post-News Battle of the Bands as a top 25 semi-finalist, and the Northern Colorado Scene Magazine Battle of the Bands as a top 10 finalist. Wrapping up their freshman year on the local music scene, FatKnuckleJack received the 2002 Emerging Artist Award at Archer's Backstreet Bar in Fort Collins. Always working to further promote themselves, FatKnuckleJack continues to play in Fort Collins and Denver, and can often be heard on popular radio stations Planet Radio 99.9FM, KCSU 90.5FM and KBPI 106.7FM. |

Press Reviews
"Fort Collins' based FatKnuckleJack has been quietly making some fans in Northern Colorado ... now they are about to break out ... Journey / Outfield / Van Halen / Goo Goo Dolls / Sister Hazel / Matchbox Twenty and others are evident throughout the latest CD from this Fort Collins' based act ... bring on those harmonies boys ... guitar tones are honed to an edge from years spent listening to Eddie Van Halen guitar playing ... full of emotion ... passion ... this is one of the top contemporary rock bands to come out of Fort Collins in years. I'm impressed." Chris K., Talent Buyer @ Archers Backstreet Bar, Fort Collins .................................................................................................................................................. ...............................................................................................................................................................
