Jack Russell's Great White sails again!

Jack Russell’s Great White sails again!

The best part of reviewing a release when you’re a super-fan of a band is you’ve been given something you WANT to review, the worse part of reviewing a release is you have to be objective and detached from it too. Way too many times I will find myself being too critical and other times I throwing too many accolades on mediocrity. (more…)

Jack Russell’s Great White Unplugged and Totally Uncut

Rather than look backwards and merely attempt to relive the multi-platinum Hard Rock entity’s storied origins, Jack Russell set his sights on the future. In December 2011, Jack Russell’s Great White first bared its teeth. Since its inception, the frontman welcomed back longtime bassist and friend Tony Montana—this time as a guitar player and keyboardist—lead guitarist Robby Lochner, and drummer Dicki Fliszar. Now, this group has a sharp, soaring and slick new album ready, boasting the bluesy Hard Rock stomp that made Russell and Montana icons in the first place.

“It’s a powerful band,” Russell proclaims. “The music comes across very dynamically. It’s what I always wanted it to be. Tony was a catalyst for moving forward. I was never as close to him as I am now. We never had the opportunity to write music together before. I also never knew he played guitar. When I first heard him, I nearly fell of my chair. He’s my copilot. He’s one of my best friends. I wish we would’ve been this close back in the day.”

“It’s natural for all of us,” adds Montana. “There’s a solid chemistry, and we’re having a lot of fun.”

Rounding out the lineup with Lochner and Fliszar and with the more recent addition of Dan McNay on bass, these musicians hit the studio to cut their official full-length debut. It taps into the bluesy bombast and heavy energy of Russell’s celebrated material, but it’s a distinctly modern metallic monster.

“We want the new material to blow people’s ears back,” Russell goes on. “It has the elements of the best Great White music ever written, but there’s an edge. Tony brings that validity, while Robby, Dan and Dicki add a new life. It’s going to surprise people.” Montana agrees, “It’s got the classic sound. The first element is Jack’s voice. No other band sounds like this one ever did or does now. When I was 17-years-old, I remember walking around the UCLA campus listening to the band’s first EP. I was a fan before I ever joined the band. We’re going to maintain that same integrity going forward.”

That integrity became forged over nearly thirty years. In 1984, the band broke out of the Los Angeles scene with its self-titled debut followed by seismic platinum-selling outings such as 1987’s Once Bitten… and 1989’s …Twice Shy. Moving over 8 million copies worldwide, they stood out as tried-and-true rock stalwarts into the 21st century until 2011, when Russell went on to form Jack Russell’s Great White.

Ultimately, the new music is for the millions of fans who stuck by Russell all these years. It’s everything they’ve been waiting for and more.

Featured Album: Jack Russell’s Great White - He Saw It Comin'

Release Date: 27 Jan 2017 

In 1984, Great White broke out of the Los Angeles scene with its self-titled debut followed by seismic platinum-selling outings such as 1987’s ‘Once Bitten’, and 1989’s ‘Twice Shy’. Moving over eight million copies worldwide, they stood out as tried-and-true rock stalwarts into the 21st century. In 2011, Jack Russell set his sights on the future and formed his new version of the band, naming it Jack Russell’s Great White.

The frontman welcomed back long-time bassist and friend Tony Montana—this time as a guitar player and keyboardist—lead guitarist Robby Lochner, and drummer Dicki Fliszar. Released a couple of weeks ago, "He Saw It Comin'" is the band's sharp and slick new album. It showcases some of the bluesy Hard Rock stomp that made Russell and Montana icons in the first place. Jack Russell says, “It’s a powerful band. The music comes across very dynamically. It’s what I always wanted it to be. Tony Montana was a catalyst for moving forward. I was never as close to him as I am now. We never had the opportunity to write music together before. I also never knew he played guitar. When I first heard him, I nearly fell off my chair. He’s my co-pilot. He’s one of my best friends. I wish we would’ve been this close back in the day.” Tony Montana adds, “It’s natural for all of us. There’s a solid chemistry, and we’re having a lot of fun.” Jack continues, “We want the new material to blow people’s ears back. It has the elements of the best Great White music ever written, but there’s an edge. Tony brings that validity, while Robby, Dan and Dicki add a new life.
