artist: SIMPL3JACK | genre: punk | label: Holy War Entertainment
What do you get when a thirteen year old boy falls asleep and dreams of a space odyssey searching for Bob Mould and Grant Hart from Hüsker Dü? You get a song dedicated to White Stripes drummer Meg White of course. If that makes any sense to you at all then you are going to love the oft-times quirky lyrics delivered in the classic hardcore punk style that SIMPL3JACK delivers.
What else do you need to know? They are young teenagers; they are from Northern California; their lyrics aren’t going to inspire a revolution, a small uprising or win a Pulitzer, for that matter…but they are downright clever. Most of all though…these cats can play and they’re good. Really good.
Sample a few tracks from their newest release (below) and, if you like these, then we recommend heading on over to iTunes and download the whole album for yourself.

Big sound for a 3-piece! I’m impressed.
Thanks you guys. You are so awesome for supporting indie music. If there is anybody reading this that wants to have us on a show sometime – please give us a shout. We will play anywhere anytime. We want to tour this summer non-stop. Take a listen and see if there are any shows that you could fit us on.
Cheers, S3K
Awesome! Love their website too.
Free knowledge like this doesn’t just help, it promote demcoracy. Thank you.

Froglix rules! How did you guys find out about this band? Lizard Wash is my new fave song just downloadded the whole cd on itunes and it is soooooooo cool. Do you know if they are touring?
We were emailed the digital press kit. After listening to several tracks a few times “Lizard Wash” definitely stood out to me. I guess I like the 50′s vibe it has, and besides it showed off a different sound from the rest of the tracks. In truth it was hard to narrow it down to just a few tracks to share. Unlike a lot of crap out there with only a few good tracks on an album, this entire album is very playable. “At War With The Cherubs” was another favorite.
“Punk” can be deifned by different people in different ways. It’s all based on perceptions, backgrounds, and diy attitude. I think just the fact that this is a totally free digital compilation with no strings attached and featuring many struggling artists without label backing, is pretty punk rock if you ask me. PS- There probably are a couple of songs that wouldn’t fit the traditional tag of “punk” but as is the story with all genres, things change. Hey Allan, you should of sent me a Scatered Few track
are you being serious about this band being 13 year old kids?
jack johnson discoveered these guys, i saw them play in hawaii when they were like 12…me and my friends were blown away
the jack johnson thing is probably right…they have a song called
Simpl3jackjohnson on the album i just checked out on itunes.
Your aneswr shows real intelligence.

the jack johnson connection is probably right. they have a song on the itunes cd calle d “simpl3jackjohnson”
the jack johnson connection is real….they have a song on the cd called Simpl3jackjohnson which is rad…not many punk bands throw in an ukulele track like that!
SO awesome!!! S3K is the best!
i can’t tell if i love these guys because they’re only 13 or just because the songs rock. if jerry argento happens to be reading this: please book these guys for a show in Seattle!
a friend of a friend is a director named Pete Ohs, he just finished that killer Best Coast video that has Bethany and Ronald McDonald involved in a love affair…anyway, he’s in production on a simpl3jack music video….can’t wait to see it!
I love that best coast video….looking forward to seeing the simpl3jack vidoe
Glad I’ve finally found smoehntig I agree with!
ummmmm……WOW
Lizzard Wash is a REALLY good song
these kids put on incredibly high energy live shows
I really wish there were more airtcels like this on the web.
Way to go on this essay, hepled a ton.
there’s hope yet for the justin beiber generation
do these kids write their own songs? if so I’m on the bandwagon.
Please put me in touch with SIMPL3JACK’s manager, or parents, or whatever. I would like to book them for a show this summer at the Redwood Music Festival in Humboldt.
Super jzzaed about getting that know-how.
You’ve got to be kdiidng me-it’s so transparently clear now!
