Joe Holmes Biography
Joe Holmes is an American heavy metal guitarist best known for his stint with Ozzy Osbourne between 1995 and 2001. He has also played with Van Halen frontman David Lee Roth and the L.A. band Lizzy Borden in addition to leading his own bands, Terriff, and currently, Farmikos.
In late December 2012, news broke of Holmes’ new band Farmikos, featuring former Laidlaw vocalist Robert Locke. The band’s name has no particular meaning and was derived from their song “Scapegoat”, which was originally titled “Pharmikos”. “Pharmikos” was then changed to “Farmikos” for aesthetics. It became the band’s name. In early January 2013, the band’s website began to stream the song “Scapegoat”, the first Farmikos song to surface, with guest contributions from Holmes’ former Ozzy Osbourne band mate, Metallica bassist Robert Trujillo, and Bad Religion drummer Brooks Wackerman. Another song, “The Sound Of My Gun”, also featuring Trujillo and Wackerman, premiered in early March 2013. Farmikos continues to record new music with longtime Holmes studio affiliate, engineer/producer Rich Mouser. In late July 2013 Farmikos released a video teaser for the song “Exit Stencils” on the official FARMIKOS YouTube channel. The Video features footage of Holmes recording solo tracks in the studio. In December 2013 two more video teasers were released on the official FARMIKOS YouTube channel for the songs “Spoon and Sun” and “Scapegoat”. An EP was announced for February 2014. Recorded at the Mouse House in Pasadena, California with engineer/mixer Rich Mouser (SPOCK’S BEARD, TRANSATLANTIC, VAST), the EP also features guest contributions from Holmes’ former Ozzy Osbourne band-mate, bassist Robert Trujillo, and drummer Brooks Wackerman.
