A
little wheeling and dealing at
the crossroads, a quick slap to
an upright bass and a smokin’
beat. Add to the mix the guitar
chops of Elvis Suissa and Three
Bad Jacks music comes in to
stretch the borders of rock.
Three Bad Jacks are the bastard
sons of rock and roll greats
like Elvis Presley, Joe
Strummer, Johnny Cash and Joey
Ramone. This full throttle trio
fuses the best parts of rock,
punk and rockabilly into a
unique sound that defies any
label or category.
Three
Bad Jacks are an unstoppable
force. They play
consistently to sold-out crowds
across the U.S. They have opened
for bands from Joe Strummer to
Dwight Yoakam, from Social
Distortion to Bouncing Souls.
Three Bad Jacks consistently
draw on their home turf of
Southern California at venues
such as House of Blues, The
Knitting Factory and The Galaxy
Theatre as well as festivals
such as Hootenanny.
Three
Bad Jacks have received a
well-deserved reputation for a
fantastic live show in support
of their 1999 release, “Made
Of Stone”, the Hellbound Train
EP in 2002 and their most recent
release, “Crazy in the
Head”. The three releases
along with their twenty separate
T-shirt designs, stickers and
other merchandise items are
strong sellers in traditional
retail outlets and at shows.
Most
recently, Three Bad Jacks
secured two songs in a major
motion picture that is slated
for release in the summer of
2007. "Wanted: Undead
or Alive" starring Chris
Kattan (Saturday Night Live) and
James Denton (Desparate
Houswives) will feature the
songs "Hellbound
Train" and "Crazy In
The Head". Three Bad
Jacks is also being featured on
rehearsals.com which is the
Internet arm of famed Center
Staging Musical Productions.
Three
Bad Jacks currently hold
endorsements with Thrust Custom
Drums (for whom the drummer will
appear in print ads in 2007) and
Ultimate Ears in-ear monitors.
“Truly. Greasy-headed
frontman Elvis Sussia (ex-Terror
Train) leads this trio through
exceptionally crafted, traditional
rockabilly with surfed-up chords
that could make old Link Wray
blink; there’s chutzpah and
heart and true musical command.
On
"Run Johnny Run" and
"Thrill Me," you can
practically taste the Blatz,
while "Falling Down"
might, on a good drunken night,
raise the corpse of Gene
Vincent. The raging psychobilly
track, "Hell Bound
Train," is suitably crammed
with disgraced angels.
On
"Gone Gone Goodbye"
and "Remember the
Nights," you swear that
Sussia is
Elvis.”
Metro
Times, Detroit/ Dustin Walsh

“It’s
completely huge over here now
but this guy was here ‘before
the storm’. And Three Bad
Jacks have been selling out
venues nationwide for seven
years now. If you go by crowd
reaction, all the friends and
fans at every show singing along
to every song like they do.
Three Bad Jacks love what they
do.”
Big Wheel, King Nick, Jan
2006
