The band comprised Tim Arnold (vocals, guitar, piano and songwriter), Jack Reynolds (lead guitar), Adrian Meehan (drums) and Andy Lewis (bass guitar).
By 1995, Jocasta had signed a worldwide record deal with Sony. Jocasta's management set up their own label, V4 records and were distributed by Sony for their first two singles "Go" and "Change Me". In early 1996, Sony moved the band to Epic Records with Manic Street Preachers and Pearl Jam.
Epic released the single "Something to Say" and upon poor sales, decided to re-release the band's previous singles. At the start of 1997, "Go" was 'A listed' by BBC Radio One and championed by Jo Whiley as 'single of the week'. It also featured on TV shows, including the BBC Saturday morning show, Alive and Kicking and ITV's Video Tec. After a short European tour, Epic re-released "Change Me" which became Mark Radcliffe's single of the week, again at Radio One. The reissues of "Go" and "Change Me" both placed on the UK Singles Chart.
The debut album, No Coincidence, released in June 1997, was recorded with the London Symphony Orchestra. Sony terminated the contract on the day the album was released. The band split up after the album's release, with Arnold going on to record as a solo artist, releasing 25 studio albums to date, many of which follow his art rock style that led the Jocasta sound. As of 2021, Arnold's solo work is available on all streaming platforms apart from Spotify.
