Damp Socks
Described as a rising rock band with an "upbeat melancholy" style, Damp Socks is comprised of three young members that provide most of the band's instrumentation. Garris is an octopus on the drums, Vinny Mack is a mackerel who plays guitar, and John Goose is an anglerfish on bass.[1]
Off the Hook
- Main article: Off the Hook
Pearl and Marina provide vocals for the band under their pop idol duo name Off the Hook. According to Sunken Scroll 22 in Splatoon 3, while on world tour, Off the Hook discovered Damp Socks online and joined them as a side project. In this band's songs, Pearl notably does not rap as she usually does, instead singing alongside or in response to Marina, whose vocals retain her usual style. Marina also serves as the band's pianist.
Quotes
“ | While out on their world tour, hit pop duo Off the Hook reeled in some salty new talent to form Damp Socks. With their fresh, driving tempos and subtle shifts in tone, these unnamed youths synergize perfectly with Pearl and Marina's passionate vocals. | ” |
— Splatoon Base[1]
|
“ | Pearl started out just wanting to produce, until she realized: "I can't sit back and watch this band. I gotta be in it!" The new collab seems to have brought out her mentoring side—she's been doling out more vocals to Marina than usual and trusting the young talent to shine on their own without telling them what to do. | ” |

Trivia
- Despite the band's name being changed to Damp Socks in international versions, the NQSK-BVOTH poster's name still uses an acronym for "Busy Vacation", with only Off the Hook's acronym being translated.
- Like Off the Hook, the band's song names in Japanese have an interpunct between each word. Unlike Off the Hook, whose song names are exclusively transliterated English with the exception of Suffer No Fools and the part in parantheses in Spectrum Obligato ~ Ebb & Flow (Out of Order), Damp Socks uses Japanese written in katakana.
Etymology
Vinny Mack's first name likely comes from vinegar, as a reference to their Japanese name "Kizushi", which refers to a vinegar-seasoned raw mackerel dish.
John Goose's first name is a reference to Melanocetus johnsonii, the humpback anglerfish's scientific name, while the last name come from the goosefish family.
Garris' name may reference Octopus vulgaris, the scientific name for the common octopus.
