Jack Black:
David Quick - kitara in vokal
Johnny Katonah - bas in vokal
Lucky Elbel - bobni

Jack Black, za katere je Maximum Rock'n'Roll zapisal, da prihajajo naravnost iz Satanove garaže, so sicer iz New Yorka. Jack Black veljajo za špico med sodobnimi ameriškimi briljantinskimi punkerji, cepljenimi z ravno pravo dozo rockabillyja, kritiki pa jih v svojih ocenah postavljajo ob bok skupinam kot so Supersuckers, Reverend Horton Heat in New Bomb Turks. Njihova glasba je v osnovi klasičen punk s svojimi tremi akordi, v katerem pa uspevajo pod isto streho združiti prav toliko občutka za klasični rock'n'roll kakšnega Eddieja Cohrana ali Bobbyja Fullerja kot za hard rockerje tipa Ted Nudget in ZZTop, legendarne prapunkerje New York Dolls ali razvpite Ramones. Trojka, ki jo sestavljajo kitarist in pevec David Quick, bobnar Lucky Elbel Houston in basist Johnny Katonah je izdala tri plošče - prvi EP z naslovom "Got Jack Black You Want It…Live At CBGB's" je izšel leta 1995 za newyorško založbo Deuce Laber, leta 1996 so izdali vinilni 7 inčer z naslovom "Money Talk", zadnji CD z naslovom "Jack Black" (40 minut energičnega punk'n'rolla) pa so izdali leta 1998 za založbo Cacophone Records.

Američane Jack Black bodo na obeh slovenskih nastopih spremljali francoski punk rockerji Hellsuckers, ki med ključne vplive na svojo glasbo štejejo Ramones, Straycats, Supersuckers, Motorhead, AC/CD, Kiss, pivo, viski, dekleta, hitre avtomobile in motorje. Hellsuckers so letos izdali dve plošči - 7 inčer "Rock'n'Roll Licence" za švicarsko založbo Sheep Records in 12 inčer "Everything Sucks Except Rock'n'Roll" za Japonsko založbo Revell Yell.

"Jack Black are a no messin` blue collar kick ass rock`n`roll band. If you don`t like Jack Black, then you don`t like rock`n`roll and if you don`t like rock`n`roll you`ll hate Jack Black."
Kosmo Vinyl (manager)

"Jack Black are New York City`s greaser punk kings."
Ron Colinear, Label Boss, Double Deuce Records

"Though often compared to punkabilly bands like Reverend Horton Heat, Jack Black blows away such overhyped and irrelevant bands."

"Jack Black is a great band like the Supersuckers and much better than Dash Dip Rock et al. way amped up man."
Ink Nineteen

"Jack Black... A straightforward ass kicking, for those who are ready the line forms behind me."
Buzz

"Jack Black... This here is just real rock`n`roll, pure & simply killer."
Swill

"Jack Black is GREAS-RRR-ROCK. Musically, they have just as much Eddie Cochran and Bobby Fuller under their hood as they do Ted Nugent or ZZTop. Also popping the Jack`s pistons are hefty shots of punk that rev as loud as the Ramones, New Bomb Turks, and the Reverend Horton Heat."
Moo Magazine

"Jack Black is basic 3 chord punk with a touch of a feel of rockabilly...but still feel genuinly punk rock. My sister thought it was the best thing I got this month."
