A punk revival 4 from Vancouver, Gob was formed in 1994. Soon after, Tom Thacker (guitars/vocals), Theo Goutzinakis (guitars/vocals), Craig Wood (sea bass), and Gabe Mantle (drums) issued their debut album, Overly Late...No Friends. In accession to several split releases with early 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 gravid Canadian following, numerous appearances on the Vans Warped Tour, and their energetic, hyperactive meat hooks, it wasn't until beau Canadian pop-punks Sum 41 took Gob out on duty tour with them that things in truth started to happen stateside. That exposure light-emitting diode to a successful label showcase for L.A. Reid's Arista imprint, and soon the boys base themselves in the studio with Mark Trombino, world Health Organization had produced such like-sounding groups as blink-182 and Jimmy Eat World. The F.U. EP appeared in early 2003 as a herald to the full-length Foot in Mouth Disease, which arrived in April of that class. Following the handout of the proper Arista full-length, Gob embarked on a three-month tour first step for fellow Canadian/Arista artist Avril Lavigne.
