Although rock ‘n’ roll seems to be strapped in the backseat of the modern music industry, Orange County-bred rock band The Jacks has made a significant mark in the scene. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since forming in Los Angeles in 2016, the group has sold out gigs at legendary hometown venues like the Roxy and Viper Room, performed major festivals, and supported music icons such as The Doors’ Robby Krieger. Now the group has recorded and released their first self-titled EP with producer Matt Wallace (Maroon 5, Faith No More) in June 2019, and are working on a full U.S. tour, including a stop at the Troubadour in L.A. on July 26. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier this year, the quartet performed at the NFL pre-Super Bowl and NHL Winter Classic events. For the remainder of the 2019 Stanley Cup playoffs, their music was played during the games’ broadcasts, highlight reels, and commercial bumpers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The band consists of Jonny Stanback (lead vocals\/rhythm guitar), Tom Hunter (lead guitar, vocals), Scott Stone (bass guitar, vocals) and Josh Roossin (drums\/percussion). Bassist Stone chatted with Backstage SoCal on the band’s undying passion for rock ‘n’ roll, how the band got their name, favorite lyrics and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
