Gob is a pop punk band from Burnaby, British Columbia formed in 1994. The band's trademark sound relies heavily on crunchy, distorted guitars. Their single "I Hear You Calling" was featured on Electronic Arts's NHL 2002 video game. Other songs that have been featured in EA video games are "Give Up The Grudge" (Madden 2004), "Oh! Ellin" (NHL 2004), "I've Been Up These Steps" (NHL 2003), and "Sick With You" (NHL 2003). The band has appeared on several outdoor music festivals, the most well-known being Vans Warped Tour.

The band released World According to Gob, in 2001. This album was Gob's most successful album to date. The sound took a slight departure from their early punk rock sound and displayed growth in their songwriting and in their musicianship. Singles released from WATG include "For The Moment", "I Hear You Calling", and "No Regrets".

In 2002, Gob recorded the F.U. EP, "Ming Tran" was released as a single for the EP which also featured re-recorded version of a classic Gob song "Soda", 2 exclusive tracks, "L.A Song", "Sick With You" as well as new tracks from the forthcoming full-length Foot in Mouth Disease, which was released on Arista Records in April 2003. Singles from Foot in Mouth Disease include "Give Up the Grudge" and "Oh! Ellin".

In 2004, Wood left the band to play guitar for Canadian superstar Avril Lavigne. The band have since recruited a bassist known only to fans as "Peter Pan" or, more commonly, Tyson, as Gob's members are on a 'first-name basis' with their fans. (All albums credit the musicians simply by their first names, as well.)

The latest album, "Muertos Vivos", is set to be released on November 27, 2007 in the U.S. and has been released in Canada on October 23. On their current tour they have been sharing the stage with such bands as Only Way Back & Ending Alexander. The first single off the album is "We're All Dying", however the song "Prescription" is the first from the new album released on the band's MySpace. More about Gob...
