Suede is an ordinary fabric with the extraordinary trait of being both smooth and tough. Showy and classy, yet not too gaudy or ostentatious..
We have a storm raging in our minds.. a musical whirlwind of thoughts and emotions. We have messages written on napkins, carefully folded and tucked neatly in the crevices between the state of dreaming and our conscious hearts. There is a universal song that floats through us that no one genre can encompass.. no one voice can express.. We can only pour every drop of passion in our music, every shot of energy into our shows, in hopes that you will manage to catch a glimpse, a blink, even a shimmer of the reflection from a shadow of the memory to the idea that keeps us living, learning, and growing. We sing to inspire, we write to reason, we perform to dream.. We pride ourselves int he diversity within ourselves and within music, as a whole.
Burn with desire,
Be fiery with passion,
Be a matchstick in life..
"Music is a Lifestyle and my Lifestyle is the Music.." - Jack of Suede
"Jack of Suede is a creative rock trio with a lot of cards up their sleeves. These guys rock out many well-written originals. Most of their songs have dance friendly funky bass lines and solid riffs. Lots of love/hate themed lyrics are delivered with some nice harmonies from guitar player Craig Furnivall and bassist Steven Mui. Dan Long on drums is tight and proves his abilities on every song. I like their live sound better than the select recordings on the group's MySpace page. Go see it for yourself."

"a blast of infectious party rock that will make you want to dance like a fool"
"powerful songs with blunt lyrics performed in a carefree sing-song style"
"if you're into funky pop rock that tells it like it is, check out Jack of Suede"
