This was my first time seeing JOW live, and they did not disappoint. Two of the band’s members, James and Ryan, are longtime friends of mine, and while I have seen them play countless times in The Form, this was my first look at what they bring to this project. The band leans into what they describe as “the best songs you forgot you loved, from 1970 to 2010, except the 80s, on purpose,” and they back it up with a tight, high-energy set. It was a genuinely fun night of live music and a great show to capture.
