28 JACKS <28jacks>
"I think therefore I am, I didn't think you'd understand..."


ICA Launchpad Review
Probably heading the pack of the young, new and exciting bands coming through in The Highlands, Their take on a classic indie sound has won admirers everywhere and its no fluke, just pure talent, that has saw them support the like's of Jyrojets,The View,The Rifles,The Courteneers,Tiny Dancers, Glasvegas and more.
(Steven Leighton)

Inverness Courier Review
(1990's Gig)
Inverness's own 28 Jacks whose catchy indie rock suggested they had drank deep from the same well of 1960's influences that served Oasis so well.
(Calum Macleod)

Is This Music review by Robin Murray
The filthy Brit rock of 28 Jacks proves that there’s more to Inverness than the road to John O’ Groats

Breakout Scotland The CD featuring various Scottish artists OUT "31rst March 08"

  • ICA REVIEW JUN 09

    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 LOCALAL 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.............................
