The Blackjacks [have new songs up!]

About Me

The Blackjacks are a Washington DC based band which combines the blues of the grittier British Invasion bands and blues punk of the late seventies with heavy danceable garage style grooves. The band quickly gained notoriety around the DC-VA area for their high energy live shows which showcase their songcraft and musicianship. They were recently signed with the Indie label SMOD based out of New York City, and have released a 5 song EP. A full length album is scheduled for release in Summer of 2008. After winning the 2008 DC101 Last Band Standing Competition, The Blackjacks played the SOLD OUT Chili Cook-Off, opening for Staind, Chevelle, Finger 11 and Live.
