The Legendary Jack Young

Breaking Hearts and Faces

About Me

A fallen soldier of the New England garage rock/indie scene, the Legend bathed his soul in booze and bad moonlight....pondering rainy nights when all seemed quiet and dead in antiquated interzones. Bar fights and loose women....a short stay in a mental health facility found the Legend in Brooklyn NY. The cat with no tail that he had left behind plagued his thoughts.....speed brought a brainwashing solace and He relished in a stupor for a year or so with a horrible female who would influence some of his writing and general disdain for women. Finally thrown out and homeless the Legend pondered an early end while freezing on a bench in Washington Square Park. He was rediscovered by some old friends and urged to go back to music. The Legend was reluctant....for he was very out of practice...an alcoholic with a personality disorder...all this at only 25. The initial sessions were chaotic....with songs resembling everything from Cocteau Twins b sides....to weary folk meanderings of such greats as Bert Jansch or Smog. One thing was clear....the kid still had SOMETHING(even if it required a shot of penecillan). A record is in talks for April release.
