Jacknife Powerbombs

I'm a dirty rock supermachine

About Me

Buy our full length CD "Set to Go!" at CD Baby.com .Set and shaped in Cleveland, Ohio, the Jacknife Powerbombs have been creating music the way they want it since their inception. Taking inspiration from the rustbelt cities and hard working, hard driving life they've grown up in, their music reflects the frustrations, triumphs and cheap adventures that they're accustomed to. With lyrics ranging from social criticisms to personal battles to Evel Knievel inspired daredevilry, the band never backs down from their personal and heartfelt drive to remain positive and look forward.
