Sharks Keep Moving were a short-lived Seattle rock band that formed in 1998. The band?s original lineup consisted of Jake Snider (guitar/vocals), Jeff DeGolier (bass), Nate Turpen (guitar), and Dan Dean (drums), and Jay Clark (guitar). Their music was often described as a mixture of Karate and Don Caballero ? a melodic, often soft, brand of rock with odd time signatures and an almost freeform jazz influence. History Snider, Turpen, and DeGolier had all previously played in the respected Seattle indie band State Route 522, and had released material with Seattle?s Excursion Records under that name. State Route 522 broke up in 1997, following the release of their Samson Is Apollo EP for Excursion. Jay Clark was still playing with Kill Sadie but worked with the band as another guitarist. Within the next year, Snider, Turpen, and DeGolier found themselves playing together again, but this time leaving behind the post-hardcore sound
