AboutA punk revival quartet from Vancouver, Gob was formed in 1994. Soon
after, Tom Thacker (guitars/vocals), Theo Goutzinakis (guitars/vocals),
Craig Wood (bass), and Gabe Mantle (drums) issued their debut album,
Too Late...No Friends. In addition to several split releases with other
Canadian punk bands, the band recorded the full-length How Far Shallow
Takes You in 1998; it was reissued in the U.S. the following year. The
World According to Gob appeared in early 2001. But despite their prolific
output, a large Canadian following, numerous appearances on the Vans
Warped Tour, and their energetic, hyperactive hooks, it wasn't until fellow
Canadian pop-punks Sum 41 took Gob out on tour with them that things
really started to happen stateside. That exposure led to a successful label
showcase for L.A. Reid's Arista imprint, and soon the boys found themselves
in the studio with Mark Trombino, who had produced such like-sounding
groups as blink-182 and Jimmy Eat World. The F.U. EP appeared in early 200
3 as a precursor to the full-length Foot in Mouth Disease, which arrived in
April of that year. Following the release of the proper Arista full-length, Gob
embarked on a three-month tour opening for fellow Canadian/Arista artist
Avril Lavigne.
