THE BLACKJACKS - American Independents Complete Recordings 1984-1989 [USA garage, rock, pop] 2004 Retrospect Records RR-04-006

 


The Blackjacks were a four-piece band from Boston who released one sole full-length record plus an EP called "Basic" in the mid-1980s.

They remind me of bands like Infidels or The Outnumbered but they played a very personal brand of potent garage pop, track 'Zeroing in on Me' being quite representative of their sound, but they could also play more refined songs like the jangly tune 'Possession' or the poppy 'Simple Math' which John Borack himself listed among the "100 Killer Pop Tunes" of all time in his "Shake Some Action" book.

The best song on here is probably 'That's Why I Always Dress In Black' which should appeal to all Radio Birdman fans.
