Jobber have announced their debut album, Jobber To The Stars, will arrive on August 22nd via Exploding In Sound Records. Along with the announcement, The New York City Band have shared the LP’s first single, “Nightmare” accompanied by a music video starring wrestler “Iron” Rip Byson. Built around a guitarist/vocalist Kate Meizner’s hooky riffs.

Kate Meizner on “Nightmare:”

“I wrote this song back in 2021 when I wanted to quit my day job, but felt really, really stuck. Companies were doing mass layoffs, cutting benefits, and the job market was garbage, so it felt like a risk to make a move and leave. I wanted to capture that feeling of paralysis: when you know you need to let go of something terrible for you (and the world!), but the decision involves so much risk that fear keeps you rooted in place. It’s like a nightmare where you’re trying to escape from a monster that’s trying to destroy you, but your legs are cement – you just ‘can’t seem to run.’ Sonically, I was really going for a power pop feel, with the Moog, sugary melody, and groove. I think I was listening to ‘Waiting’ by the Rentals on repeat at the time. Mike Falcone (drummer), Justin Pizzoferrato (engineer), and we had a fun time capturing that sound and playing with different flourishes like claps, ‘woo-hoos’ or hard panned guitar textures.”

Jobber—Meizner, drummer-vocalist Michael Falcone, guitarist-keyboardist Michael Julius, and bassist Miles Toth—recorded the album with Justin Pizzoferrato (Dinosaur Jr, Body/Head, Pixies) and Aron Kobayashi Ritch (Momma, Hotline TNT, Squirrel Flower).
