Old school Aussie pub rockers Jackson Firebird will release their debut album, charmingly titled Cock Rockin’, this Friday.
The Mildura natives have earned a reputation for their energetic live shows, and engineer/producer Mick Wordley has managed to capture that spontaneity in the album’s ten tracks. There’s nothing fancy here, but that raw, organic rock should strike a chord with music lovers craving a return to basics.
Of course it’s only fitting for a band that prides itself on its live shows to waste no time before getting back on stage. Jackson Firebird will celebrate Cock Rockin’s June 8 release with the Paper Scissors Rock tour. See what all the buzz is about at the following shows.
