The Miami quartet's brand of Rock is a rollicking, raw, and rough affair fueled by inigorating riffs and
unforgettable hooks. The group! "hil #eti$ia %&ocals', (elick %Bass', )rankie *tone %+uitar', and Mauricio
,guilera %-rums'!in.ects modern attitude into a traditional palette. ,s a result, you're going to be wearing Black
Jacket for a long time to come.
/0t's modern rock with a retro feel,/ affirms (elick. /1e all come from different backgrounds ranging from thrash to
pop to classic Rock 23 Roll. 1e are also ery culturally dierse and that influence can be felt in the grooe. )ranky
hails from the -ominican Republic, Mauricio from 4hile, and myself of 4uban decent. ,ll of our influences and
cultures conerge to create an original sounding rock band that is uniquely Black Jacket./

eeryone from 6orn to Megadeth. ,fter the group disbanded, he .oined *cott *tapp %4reed' for a special run
performing at military installations in the Middle 5ast for ,rmed )orces 5ntertainment. 7e wasn't necessarily in
search of another band howeer, from the moment Black Jacket first came together, these four indiiduals knew they
had something special.
80 come from more of a pop back ground 9beliee it or not:/, says "hil, /but once 0 heard the music and went in for
our first .am session, 0 knew this was where 0 wanted to be. The writing process is so fluid, the songs basically write
themseles.;

Requiem, we were sharing the stage with acts like Testament, -R0, and 4annibal 4orpse. Black Jacket's music
allows me the space to be more creatie and actually 1R0T5 big songs,/ Mauricio says.

hae toured throughout the =* with bands like *ister 7a$el to Type > 2egatie and 0 wasn3t looking to start a band
again, but when you hae such immediate chemistry playing with the caliber of talent in this band you .ust hae to
go for it.;
The group has already started on the road towards artistic change first by focusing on a bit of a lost art in this day
and age. 0n only a few short months, Black Jacket has solidified their place in the *outh )lorida Rock scene and
hae already landed opening slots for national acts such as *oil, 1ayland, and 7ed9pe:.

and fuck like animals!like the old days of rock 'n' roll./
