Artist description Fearlessly pulling inspiration from every musical genre, this newly born three-piece serves up a generous portion of high-energy groove, laden with free-wheelin’ punk, surf, pop and soul. From beautifully soulful soundscapes to fiercely kinetic punk-pop, jimmyjack covers miles of ground with veteran precision, and rookie charm. A perfect antidote for any music fan tired of jaded bands calculating their sound to fit the insipid pop mold.

Press Reviews Here's a true oddity: jimmyjack has a female drummer. The two guys play bass and guitar. Well, and drumswhenever "Lady K" gets on the B3 organ. I have the feeling this works kinda like Trans Am live.And that's not a horrible reference. jimmyjack likes to mix up its sounds. Everything from raucous country to Blondie slapstick disco to blistering uptempo fuzz rock. And a whole lot more.Basically, each song has a groove. These grooves do not match up from song to song, but on the whole it's possible (if you stretch) to puzzle out something of a band "concept." If you really want to think about it that much.It works either way. jimmyjack can be appreciated viscerally and intellectually. Not many bands can appeal to so many senses at one time. This trio as they say, has it going on. Few could have built such a wonderful joy ride. - Jon Worley, Aiding and Abetting - webzine reviews, (www.cent.com/abetting)
