Australia has a new Cock Rock band and the name of the band is Jackson Firebird.
Jackson Firebird are from Mildura, Victoria. They rock.
Dale Hudak and Brendan Harvey formed the band back in 2006. Local gigs lead to national gigs and festivals.
They did the Triple J Unearthed thing and then wound up in the studio with a deal from Warner Music.
“Jackson Firebird is all about the live show,” insists Brendan Harvey. “We knew Mick was a live sound guru with tape experience, and we wanted to keep the recording as honest as possible. He knew where to mic the room to get the garage-y sounds we wanted, or where to put them if we wanted a clean take.”
“We feel the whole album has been stripped back to bare bones,” says Dale Hudak, when asked about naming the album after the explosive title track. “We have nothing to hide and the ‘let it all hang out’ title sums up best what we’re about, both onstage and musically. No shame, stripped back, simple, dirty, in-your-face rock & roll.”
Jackson Firebird’s ‘Cock Rockin’ album will be released this Friday, June 8 through Warner.
