Produced by Black Jacket & Corey Lowery (Sevendust, Eye Empire, Dark New Day) Mixed by Corey Lowery Recorded with Rob Roy at Power Station Studios, Pompano Beach, FL Mastered by Rodney Mills The Miami quartet's brand new EP, "Resurrection", is a rollicking, raw, and rough affair fueled by invigorating riffs and unforgettable hooks. The group— Phil Letizia [Vocals], Zelick [Bass], Franky Stone [Guitar], and Mauricio Aguilera [Drums]—injects modern attitude into a traditional palette. As a result, you're going to be wearing Black Jacket for a long time to come. The debut EP is described by the band as "modern rock with a retro feel". Coming from a wide variety of musical backgrounds and cultures, from Thrash Metal & Classic Rock to Pop & Latin, all of the members' influences converge to create an original sounding rock record that is uniquely Black Jacket. The band came about as all great rock bands do... without pretense. In the winter of 2012, guitar player Franky Stone contacted long-time friends, Zelick and Mauricio about jamming for fun. There were no expectations, no pomp and circumstance. It was purely meant to be a good time with some loud tunes and cold beers. "The immediate chemistry between us was electric," remembers Zelick. "We ended up writing five song ideas in just a few short jam sessions. At that point all we needed was the voice to complete our sound." Fast-forward a few months later and, with the inclusion of current lead singer Phil Letizia, Black Jacket was officially born. Black Jacket's members are also no strangers to the music industry... In his original band Endo, Zelick released two acclaimed albums via Columbia Records and shared stages with everyone from Korn, Marilyn Manson, Disturbed and Ozzy Osbourne to Sepultura, Hatebreed & Megadeth. After the group disbanded, he joined Scott Stapp [Creed] for a special run performing at military installations in the Middle East for Armed Forces Entertainment. Drummer Mauricio Aguilera found success at an early age in his home country of Chile with his band Requiem, who played countless festivals with Metal legends such as Testament, DRI, and Cannibal Corpse. Black Jacket is more than just hard rock. It’s a fusion of a variety of influences combined with a mainstream sensibility. "We want our music to connect with people’s emotions on all levels," says Phil. "I believe that almost all of us have similar life experiences no matter who we are, so we try to write about things that have happened in our lives that everyone can relate to. Even though rock is not at the forefront of today’s popular music, I feel what we are doing is relevant and we want Black Jacket to spearhead a new rock revolution.” "We're trying to bring the true energy of rock music back," Franky concludes. "We're not trying to be over dramatic or metaphorical. Our music is easy to understand and grasp. Our message is simple. It relates to everybody. We want audiences to feel entertained. We hope 'Resurrection' makes people want to drive fast, bang their heads, and party like animals—like the old days of Rock 'N' Roll." Sounds like a good time…
