In late 1995, Joe Sib , after the breakup of his band Wax , decided to get together with longtime friend Steve Soto (former member of The Adolescents and Agent Orange ) to write some material. They soon gathered Sandy Hansen (The Adolescents), Scott Shiflett ( Face to Face ), and Jason Cropper ( Weezer ) to form 22 Jacks. In February 1996, 22 Jacks went to The Sandbox studio in Los Angeles and recorded 12 songs, which became the “Uncle Bob” record. With the three final additions to the band already having prior commitments, Sib and Soto went on a search for replacements to solidify the lineup. They found Kelly LeMieux ( Fear ), Jose Medeles ( The Breeders , and Face to Face), and Bill Fraenza.
