KODIAK JACK are a rapidly ascending Portsmouth-based band, comprising of Bryn (vocals), Matt (drums), Kev (bass), Jeff (Lead guitar) and Ant (guitar and backing vocals).
Main influences range between Grunge, Blues and Hard Rock, culminating in infectious melodies, anthemic hooks, and some classic rock riffs to make KODIAK JACK one of the most exciting new outfits on the South Coast.
Ever the consumate live act, playing venues across the south and supporting upcoming Radio1/NME touted acts like Specrum7, Everything Everything, The Sharks and Animal Kingdon. Amoung them. The winning combination of a hernia-inducing rhythm section, screaming solos and some of the most dynamic vocals since Scott Weiland have given the band a fearsome local live reputation that is growing by the day.
Their Bunny Girl EP (available from www.angry-badger-records.com) is an undulating, tumultuous nugget of squalling guitars, pile-driving rhythm and epic vocals, boasting sordidly huge hooks and a chorus so catchy that it should be quarantined; becoming a firm live favourite and pulverising set closer. With more gigs and a second release to shortly follow, keep an eye on KODIAK JACK. This is only the beginning…
