ICA REVIEW JUN 09
ONE OF
MANY OF THE BANDS AROUND TOWN, THE ONES WITH PERHAPS THE MOST FERVENT
FANBASE ARE 28 JACKS, THANKS TO A REPUTATION FOR GREAT LIVE SHOWS AND A
GENUINE ENTHUSIASIM FOR WHAT THEY DO. IN SOUND THEY RECOLLECT THE LATE
LAMENTED JYROJETS, A GROUP RESPONSIBLE FOR PROVIDING A BLUEPRINT TO
MANY YOUNG ACTS OF THE TRIUMPHS, AND INDEED PITFALLS, TO BE HAD FROM
TRYING TO BE MORE THAN JUST A PERENNIALY LOCAL COMBO,sO 28 JACKS HAVE CERTAINLY GOT THE ENTHUSIASM TO SUCCEED AND ARE NOW AT AN INTERESTING STAGE OF THEIR CAREERS WHEN THEY CAN START PROVING THEIR WORTH,
THEY HAVE BEEN TOGETHER SINCE EARLY 2007 FORMING OUT OF A MUTUAL LOVE OF LOUD INDIE ROCK & ROLL....... THE SOUND OF ALL OUR ICONS LIKE NOEL, KURT, JOHN BONHAM AND JOHN SQUIRE MASHED UP TOGETHER. GETTING THIER NAME FROM A LONG RAINY NIGHT WITH JUST A BOTTLE OF JACK DANIELS AND TRAVEL SCRABBLE, THEY HAVE SET ABOUT ESTABLISHING THEMSELVES ON THE LIVE SCENE BUT ADMIT IT CAN BE FRUSTRATING WHEN PROMOTORS EXPECT THEM TO PALY FOR FREE, A GRIPE SHARED BY MANY OF THIER PEERS.
THANKS TO RECENTLY SELF-REALESED EP, VICIOUS, AND A DVD OF THIER PERFORMANCE AT BELLADRUM FESTIVAL THEY'RE ATTRACTING WIDER ATTENTION AND READY TO TAKE THINGS TO THE NEXT LEVEL.................
