"Safety Dunce marks the first solo instrumental effort from guitarist Jason Hook. Partnered with drummer and co-producer Jeremy Spencer (www.drumsfromhell.com) the two set out to make a collection of recordings that strayed from traditional guitar instrumental music....While drawing inspiration from some of todays heavier music and integrating Jason's whacky sense of humor, Safety Dunce delivers unique high-energy rhythmical riffs and shredding grooves. In early 2005 the disc won "Best Instrumental Album" at the L.A. Music Awards."
