Music videos were produced for “I Hate People Like That”, “Just What You Need”, and “My Friends All Lie”. These videos received heavy rotation
on popular Australian music television station Channel V and the band also played live on that channel a few times. Jerk’s first exposure to the
North American market came when their song “Sucked In” was featured in the soundtracks of the video games NHL 2004 and Need for Speed:
Underground. Soon after, the band broke up in 2004.
Jonathan (original vocalist), Charles, and Leeno have since teamed up with Zotty Cilia (drummer) and Brendan Marcii Ebens (guitars) to form
Ink. Sounding very different from their original band Jerk, they have mainly lost their industrial roots. Ink has since release an EP and a studio
album called Black Water Reign.
