Jack Cassady
Portland, OR, U.S.
JACK CASSADY is the acoustic/folkpunk alias of USA writer/musician Ryan Bartek, an individual that has flown the black flag for quite some time. Known primarily for his previous metal/grindpunk bands AKA MABUS & SASQUATCH AGNOSTIC, these antifolk/acoustic records were written primarily on the road – panhandling songs & cold-hearted whiskey tunes for audience of the moon alone. If you detest walking into an 'open mic night' with boring, 'pretty singing' hippie-dippy garbage and you just want to rip out your eye-balls or bash your head against the wall after taking in 2 minutes of it, then JACK CASSADY is the destroyer you've been waiting all along for. Accept no substitutes – JACK CASSADY is the REAL man in black! 'THE REAL MAN IN BLACK' features completely reworked covers of classic songs that won't be listed as not to be sued + a slew of original material, just like 'ANTiVOLK' the follow-up record released in 2011.
