AMAZING THANKS!

Hi Everyone,

First off I want to say an amazing thank you to all of you, for your friendships and amazing, amazing support of my Debut CD, HIGH, DIRTY & LOW! This first month has been, to say the least, overwhelming for me. The amount of love I have received and continue receiving makes everything so worth while!

My CD, in it's first month of release has already climbed to top 10 status for Indie Rock, Worldwide on http://www.indiestop10.com and is featured on Mike Cameos top ten radio show. I also have been on several radio interviews, the biggest one, so far, being on The Artist First Radio Network, a CBS affiliate in New York City, http://www.artistfirst.com I also have amazing support from Canadian Rock Radio, http://www.radiorockcafe.com Thank you to all of them and all the rest!

Our warm up show last week at Swamp Grass Willy's in Palm Beach Gardens, went amazingly well. Another great show of support to so many people that came out and drove long distances, just to see me and my band perform a warm up show! Especially Angel, who braved bad weather and drove sixty miles! For those of you who are not familiar with Florida, 60 miles driving here, is more like 120! So Kudos to her!

I want you all to know that we are working very hard to set shows up in all of your areas and countries! It's not as easy because of the economic situation in the world to do, but trust me..we will perform everywhere and anywhere we can so you all get to see us! I also promise, it will be well worth it to see us live..;)

Finally. Many of you are waiting for us to put up video. I am working very hard on this. For those of you who have known me for awhile, know that I am very picky to what I put out for public viewing. It took me a long time to decide the CD was ready for release! But video should be up very, very soon! Again. Thanks for your patience!

Hope all of you are doing great! Cannot wait to meet you all out on the road and thank you personally! Please keep it up, as good music and independent music only reach everyone because of all of your support!

PEACE, LUV & FOR GODS SAKE EVERYONE, ROCK 'N' ROLL!

Destruction (2012)

Hey Everyone,

Hope all is well! I know it's been awhile but as you all know..busier than ever. Bands been working their butts off, so we can put on shows that people deserve. I know you all have been "patiently" waiting for the CD release "High,Dirty & Low" and it is almost ready. It's a process like anything else & as you know process can be slow at times. But anything good, is worth waiting for right?LOL! I thank you all for your continued support I "patience." It will be Worth the wait!

Now. With all the crazy things going on in the world, I thought the lyrics to this song maybe appropriate. I know that some "religions" are predicting that the end of the world is coming in 2012. So..what I do? Go & write a song about it!;) Now on that note, I would like to say continued prayers for all the people, all over the world that have suffered not just from the recent events that "Mother Nature" decided to wreak upon us but to everyone that is going thru any hardships, whatever they maybe, financial, health,etc... People it's not the end of the world. None of us are promised tomorrow. so like I always say: "Live For Today, Love For Today & Be Happier You Ever Have Been" "Peace,Luv & 4 Gods Sake..ROCK 'N' ROLL!

I give you: Destruction (2012)

No Mercy

It's outrageous and contagious
Utterly temptacious
To think about a perfect society

It's an alien nation
Waiting with anticipation
To see if we'll be under the sea

Come On!

It's external & internal
Toxically infernal
The fire that we don't see

It's disease that is terminal
Waiting for a Burial
To see the end of all living beings

DESTRUCTION,DEVASTATION
WAITING FOR YOU AND ME
DESTRUCTION,DEVASTATION
YOU BETTER WAKE UP BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE TO SEE!

kill,kill

It's expressive and obsessive
Totally progressive
The addiction that lies in a drug

It's a taste that's attracted
A psycho symptomatic
That sweeps everything under a rug!

It's decision & precision
Super human vision
To save the planet all alone

It's kryptonite fighting Superman
Water fighting land
And underground becoming all our new homes!

DESTRUCTION,DEVASTATION
WAITING FOR YOU AND ME
DESTRUCTION,DEVASTATION
YOU BETTER WAKE UP BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE TO SEE!

DESTRUCTION,DEVASTATION
WAITING FOR YOU AND ME
DESTRUCTION,DEVASTATION
YOU BETTER WAKE UP BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE TO SEE!

Hello Everyone,

Its already February & I realized haven't written in my blog in a while? The 1st thing I want to do is thank my dear friend Lyndsay Irvine who created the cover art for my Upcoming CD entitled "High,Dirty & Low" there are no words to describe how grateful I am to her & for all her support, all the way from Scotland too!:)

I have spent the last month working on all the small,(well big), but small details that go into putting a CD together for release & on top of that rehearsing & auditioning Musicians for this years shows & tour. Very tedious stuff but also very exciting at the same time. Can't explain but can only compare to anything you might put your heart & soul into that you all may do. It's hard work but in the end very gratifying.

I know it may seem funny but as an Independent Artist or an Artist in General, there are a lot of sacrifices & things you have to do on a daily basis to at least make yourself feel successful & to try & put the best out there for your fans,which is really why I work so hard. There's Diet, exercise, Vocal practice,songwriting, rehearsals, promoting, pictures, phone calls, emails, radio, mailing, websites, etc...& so much more, 7 days a week. And you have to stay in control & on top of it all or you lose it all! (especially me being a control freak!LOL). Now I'm not complaining at all. I choose this. I love & live for this.I wouldn't have it any other way. In the end if just one of you say you enjoy the songs & the shows I put out, then for me it's all worth it. And all of you have given me an amazing & tremendous response & support so far! I again Thank you from the bottom of my very heart & soul.

Currently I'm in Orlando, FL checking on the production of my CD & again Auditioning more musicians. It's truly a pleasure to meet such talented people. I'm very picky though & I need to gel with who I play with. Wonder if Mickey plays an instrument?I know he can hit the High Notes!LOL!

Well People! Hope your month of Feb. Rocks! Make sure you do something sweet for your Valentines this year!I will keep you updated as to the exact date of the CD release! Probably do a giveaway contest, stay tuned & you maybe one of the lucky ones! For now, Peace, Luv & 4 Gods Sake, ROCK 'N' ROLL!

Luv,

Jack Stevens

Lyrics & a bit of insight for XXX

Hello Everyone...This is my 1st blog for 2010 & I thought I'd start by having some fun and giving you guys my lyrics for XXX.
