Bio: New York's Grimm Jack has been considered one of America's best underdog rock and roll bands for twenty-five years. A hard-driving but melodic act, the band has often been compared to Aerosmith and Telsa with a bit of southern bluesy flavor thrown in. The group developed legions of loyal fans and... See Full Bio

"Confirming my suspicions that every long haired band from the '80s will eventually return…with its Roxx Gang meets Faster Pussycat riffs and whiskey soaked vocals, begs the question -- what took these guys so long to return? If Damned is strictly an attempt to get Grimm Jack's feet wet once again it serves its purpose.” Skid for Sleaze Roxx http://www.sleazeroxx.com/bands/grimmjack/damned.shtml

— Skid, SleazeRoxx.com

“From HardRockHideout.com “New York rockers Grimm Jack sent me the link to their new video “Damned, and I was immediately hooked…I was dumbfounded to find that this band started out in the 80’s. I don’t know why it took so long to hear Grimm Jack’s music. Judging from “Damned” and the other songs I have listened to, Grimm Jack is going to be a band to keep an eye on”. Rob Rockitt at HardRockHideout.com http://hardrockhideout.com/2012/06/06/hard-rock-hideouts-fresh-blood-fe ”

— Rob Rockitt, HardRockHideOut.com

“Songs like “One Track Mind,” “Shy Boy” and “Go Down Fighting” are reminiscent of early Motley Crue, Kix and E’nuff Z’nuff. Each song brings one back nearly 20 years to a time when catchy choruses, guitar solos and harmonized background vocals ruled the charts and penetrated hearts.”

— Tracey Lukasik, BackstageAxxess.com

"This band is the real deal--they come out rockin' from the start and keep the audience entertained all the way through. Bottom line: If you like rock and roll, definitely go see Grimm Jack the next time they hit town. You won't be disappointed."

— Kevin Mullens, The Breeze

"Their music is tight, melodic and expertly performed. The songs follow traditional verse-chorus-verse formats and appeal to pop as well as rock audiences.

— Scott Duff, Music Connection

"Songs like "Go Down Fighting," "Cajun Queen" and "Downtown" reflect a merger of streetwise lyrics and raunchy guitar licks. On stage these boys have the moves, building a crowd attitude into a frenzy. By set's finale they appear earmarked for fame."

— Bradley Riggs, Good Times

"JAILHOUSE TATTOO is an excellent effort by an excellent band, and definitely worth adding to your collection."

— Angie Bowyer, American Rocker

“This New York-based quintet retain their knack for killer hooks. Tracks like "Shy Boy" and "Downtown" may sound familiar(references range from Motley Crue circa "Shout at the Devil" to any number of '60s pop rockers), but this album is welcome relief for those headbangers who are tired of the Max Factor/Max Speed set.”

— Paul Gallotta, Circus Magazine
