The Bollox started in the Fall of 2007. Founded by Jason DeVore and Keith Walker, the two friends came together with a vision of playing music that spoke from the heart, got the blood boiling and kept good times rolling. Both had the love for Irish/Folk Celtic music, and with Walker being a native of Dublin, Ireland and DeVore's passion for Irish Pub music as well, there seemed to be only one thing to do...start writing tunes about just that. Starting out with nothing more than a couple acoustic guitars and an 8 pack of Murphy's, DeVore and Walker began to jam. Writing songs of good times, bad times, struggles and triumph's, irish history and Pub crawls, the two instantly became fired up with the ease in which the songs were coming. They then decided to recruit members to form a full group. Bringing in childhood friend Jason "Saddy" Combs on bass, and old friend Brad Park on drums, the four began to jam. Shortly thereafter they recruited yet another old time friend, one Greg McLarty, to play the electric guitar for what today has brought the 5 of them to date to be...THE BOLLOX.

Great CD, better live
author: Kevin Straub
The CD is great,I have played it almost non-stop for a couple weeks now. I have seen this band in concert five times now, and I have to say that as good as the CD is, they are better live. More raw and emotional and wild live, the CD is a little polished and reserved in comparision. This band, however, is right on par with all the national favorited of the Irish/Celtic scene (DKM, Flogging Molly, Real McKenzies etc.). Get the CD and then throw down a car bomb for me.

Jameson, Guiness and a load of Bollox!
author: Chris Austin
Arizona is not exactly the typical base for an Irish/Celtic band, however, with an Irishman in the band and a talented motley crew with a passion for this music, The Bollox have proven you can definitely pull it off. Fueled by shots of Jameson and strong lyrical skills, The Bollox deliver a collection of fun and sometimes angry songs that will make any Irishman proud to jig, fight, and drink to! There's some great story telling on this album put to some killer music played very well with a two singer approach similar to DKM balancing nicely like a good head on a pint of Guinness.
Cheers,
Turret!
