Quiet Jack

............................................................ .................................................... QUIET JACK is a Philadelphia-based original rock band founded in 2005 by songwriter Justin King. The band combines organic rock with altered blues, jazz concepts and atmospheric soundscapes; often adding heavy doses of improvisation during shows. ............................................................ .................................................... In July of 2007, QUIET JACK released their 2nd EP, "Via", with drummer Jim LeFager. Basic tracking for Via was recorded at Turtle Studios in Philadelphia with engineer Jeff Hiatt. From there, the band worked overdubs at various locations until the final takes were ready for mixing. The final songs were taken back into Turtle, mixed by Jeff, then sent to Maja Audio to be mastered. ............................................................ .................................................... After Jim's amicable departure from the band, QJ began creating new music with long-time friend and drummer Mike Lang who had moved to Philadelphia in August. Justin and Mike were bandmates in numerous projects during their undergrad experience at Syracuse University. It only took one show with Mike to illustrate the new direction the band is now heading... higher energy, heavier beats, and a more natural approach to the sound. ............................................................ .................................................... Currently, the band is working on it's first full-lenght album... the vibe is extremely strong, and everyone is eager to get started. Demo sessions have been completed and the track list is set. Next up: basic tracking this Summer. Keep your eyes peeled for small shows in the Philly area. ............................................................ ....................................................
