Sometimes I come across bands that I think are okay. Sometimes they suck [and I'll be the first to admit it]. But sometimes there are bands that blow my fucking ears off - in a really good way. Blk Jks is one of the latter. Hailing from Johannesburg, South Africa, Blk Jks create loud, psychedelic South African pop music with ease. They implement heavy bass, crisp guitar, whistling, and spacey vocals to capture something new for our ears.
The cover of their debut EP entitled Mystery conveys to us a story that we can't clearly figure out. It can be fun. It can be fleeting. It can be dangerous. Either way, it's definitely enticing.
Blk Jks debut EP was released back in March [3/10/09] on Secretly Canadian Records. I honestly can't wait to hear more from these guys.
