"Handsome Jack tore the stage apart with a killer set of bluesbased primal hard rock. The group generated incredible excitement, coming across like a cross between the MC5, Wolfmother and the best of White Stripes. The band’s guitarist boasted a killer tone, his Les Paul-through-Marshall combo suggesting an unhinged Jimmy Page. Fantastic."

Buffalo’s Handsome Jack are not only keenly recreating the kind of punk-imbibed, sleazoid blooze and 1970s rock and roll that boomingly poured out—along with certain kind of thick, thick smoke—from the shag-carpeted interiors of kustom vans so many years ago. In playing their power-loaded riff rock, they also prove to be real believers and practitioners of the too often lost ethos of that era. That means shrugging off the notion of long gaps between putting out records as well as eagerly packing their guitars and drums like long-haired rock gypsies and taking their grift to the road. Coming in less than year since 2007’s Heatseeker, Handsome Jack has issued a brutally good self-titled follow up. Strewn with precise heavy rock and a collection fist-pumping anthems-to-be, it’s the ongoing story of a real-deal rock band that we’ve been lucky enough to watch grow up in front of us. “Nobody’s Home” is a building, explosive number that shows just how far the quartet has come since their days cutting class as Lockport teens. It’s a snarling salvo of epic proportions where ZZ Top meet Queens of the Stone Age in a dark boogie to the end of the world. “Setting Sun” harks back to Ted Nugent’s “Stranglehold”—a qualified kustom van klassic, now that I think of it—but Handsome Jack offer it up with a grimmer, grimier delivery proving a side which the Nuge would detest with bile: punk. The thing with Handsome Jack is that the more you start think they are on a Southern rock streak, the more you realize they are more accurately instead the spiritual children of SST bands like Black Flag and St. Vitus. This album is a kicker.

"With Heatseeker the bombastic four-piece of Handsome Jack brandishes a jagged edge of skuzzy blooze and overdriven garage rock with a lethal threat backed up by a dual-guitar attack. Handsome Jack seem bent not on being the tightest or slickest band but the one who delivers the biggest riffs along with a sinister, snotty sneer and that certain thing which Iggy Pop once called the "shake appeal." Songs like "Love Machine" and "Evil Woman" are not rocket science nor are they out to make a sensitive artist statement. They go for that undeniable animal groove and fist-pumping rock glory. Handsome Jack succeed on Heatseeker because they have figured out to put together the immediacy of MC5's short, sparking fuse with the boogie of early ZZ Top and with enough swagger and latter day garage rock feel.

I have questions, lots of questions! Does anyone still believe or trust our criminal government and SECRET WORLD RULERS (The Inernational Banks And Wealthy Elite That Actually Run This Country And Dictate To Our Government On Every Subject) in THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA? Does anyone wonder why Obama is pushing for health care? Does anyone know what Codex Alimentarius is? Does the American people really believe everything there government tells them? Is Obama really legally our president? If so what is he hiding his Official long form birth certificate for and all his records of school and passport info leading up to the presidency? Does he think some one is going to steal his identity some how? (joke) OK so you probly havent heard of the Codex Alimentarius well here is some info about it and what I think hes pushing this health care agenda for. Codex Alimentarius is an idea that will be implemented world wide December 31, 2009. An idea created by a former Nazi in 1962. Yes former Nazi Hermann Schmitz looked for an alternative to brute force for controlling people and realized that people could be controlled through their food supply. Codex is a weapon being used to reduce the level of nutrition worldwide. Under Codex, (nutrients are classified as poisons) and will be as illegal as heroin. Codex supports toxic food additives, pesticides and GM foods. Codex is legalized genocide. Billions of People Expected to Die Under Current Codex Alimentarius Guidelines set to be implemented world wide December 31, 2009.
