Jack Flash - Take Notice EP

[etxegina]

Jack Flash is a Toowoomba (Australia) born and based folk/punk six-piece with a unique brand of catchy, dancing tunes, lyrical genius and fancy flair. Originating in the spring of 2006 they developed a style which brings traditional Australian folk styles and themes to a punk audience.

Jack Flash is influenced by such acts as Flogging Molly, Dropkick Murphy’s, Red Gum, The Pogues and The Bushwhackers Band. Drawing on a rich background of Celtic, Australian and American tunes, the ‘Flash boys have forged their own sound and a fresh contribution to the Folk/Punk genre.

Their first EP 'Take Notice' which was recorded in 2007 at Homegrown Audio with Justin Myers, is now able to be download in full & for free on bandcamp.

. Compliment? Try overstatement. But THANK you Rod.

Do you have a full band or is it a solo project?

It's a solo thang, fer now, with guest musos and other mercenaries for recording purposes. Seriously, thanks for the feedback.

But now, back to Jack Flash!
