Big Yawn did a nice write-up of our final show. Check it out here:

"Directly opposite this pure style of music was the “dirty” rock played by the Black and White Jacksons. That sounds negative, but comparing a band to anything fronted by Greg Dulli is not a bad thing. This was apparently the B+W Jacksons last show ever, which immediately made me sad I had not seen them before.
The band has an interesting swagger, personified by lead singer Michael Medlock, who just seems to evoke a heavy does of “Fuck You.” And the music is more of a throw back to mid 90’s alt-rock, but the kind you never heard on the radio — let’s be clear, I am NOT comparing these guys toSpacehog. Large doses of punk seen through-out — and I would expect nothing else from a DC band — means this is a band that often goes unnoticed, that plays the basement parties instead of the cooler clubs. And maybe that is what sunk the band? Though, while I had never seen them, they certainly played around enough. It may just be the fact that DC has a lot of bands that “sound” like this? Even so, I find it hard to believe there are many bands out there that have the package the B+W Jacksons have. Or, sadly, had."
