When it comes to playing rock & roll, The JACKS SIMPLY DON'T HAVE A
CHOICE. "It's what we listen to, it's what we play," bassist Scott
Stone says, "and when you stick four guys like US in a garage with
instruments, it's just the kind of music we are going to make."
The group has recorded their first EP with producer Matt Wallace
(Maroon 5, Faith No More) at Los Angeles' famed Sunset Sound
Recorders. But even though they've been playing together for only a
couple of years, rock has been The Jacks' lifeblood for as long as
they can remember.
As Wallace declares, “The Jacks deliver up lean, rugged rock & roll
with songs that feel like instant classics that make you want to move,
with earworm hooks and melodies that will have you kinda upset when
you find yourself unintentionally and inappropriately humming their
songs at work, in church, in court, or at wakes. If the The Strokes,
Cage The Elephant, and The Rolling Stones had an equally talented, but
more handsome baby, it would be named The Jacks!”
They've spent much of the last year on the road all over the U.S.
including a slot on the Sonic Temple festival, playing alongside Foo
Fighters, The Hives, The Struts, and many others.
"There isn't an end goal for us, we just want to continue to write the
music we love, share it with as many people as possible, and hopefully
be remembered for it," Hunter says. "We hope that we can one day
inspire other musicians to do the same. Oh ... and we want to sell out
Wembley."

THE CUCKOOS
The bittersweet incandescent shimmer of The Cuckoos is deeply rooted
in classic rock, dance club funk, and neo-psych art soul, earning the
young Austin, Texas band a remarkable reputation in just a few short
years. The swampy groove arising from the collision of New Wave
romanticism, swirling experimentalism, and loud punky guitars is
somehow as perfect as it was improbable, decisively demonstrated on
record and stage.
I Hate Love, the band’s debut album, is a musical manifesto. The
diverse ten-song outing crackles with the electricity of The Cuckoos
coming into their own. It’s all a result of the combustible
chemistry between Kenneth Frost, Dave North, Eric Ross, and Cole
Koenning developed in New York, California, Mexico, the UK, and of
course, the Lone Star State.
The band’s first self-titled EP earned favorable comparisons to Tame
Impala, Joy Division, and Pink Floyd, from esteemed publications like
Classic Rock Magazine and Relix. I Hate Love is rooted in their primal
psych-rock post-punk soul but broadens its scope. It’s a new
signature sound, one that will appeal equally to folks weaned on
essential art-rock like Talking Heads and those attracted to
retro-future acts like Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats.
