Artist History Jim Cobb played guitar briefly in a band called Animal 59 to start his musical career. After an offer to join a ska band called Coming Up Short, he left Animal 59 to pursue ska. During his time in Coming Up Short, he joined Poor Lenore as a side project playing bass. Poor Lenore was an alternative rock band with many influences from punk and hardcore metal to jazz, funk, goth, you name it. This gave the band a very unique sound. Coming Up Short broke up, and Jim turned to Poor Lenore as a full time act. When the drummer of Poor Lenore left, the remaining members decided not to replace him and call it quits. Jim most certainly never played in a band called Trust. ;) Jim's next project is one he is still heavily involved in. He plays drums in a female fronted melodic hardcore band called Ash Return. After touring, Jim decided to take the songs he'd been writing on his own and get serious about them. He is beginning to hit up the coffee house circuit and will be playing out with his solo project, so keep an eye out. He will be releasing a debut album in Fall 2003.
