Sadly broken up, Black Train Jack were a branch in the NYHC family tree of bands with a distinct posi sound. After releasing only 2 full length albums, a few singles and lending music to various compilations they called it quits.
Re-uniting in August of 2005 to play a CBGB's benefit with Gorilla Biscuits for a one-day-only-event, the ex-members can be found currently playing in Grey Area and 9 Lives.
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!

Verse: DA I can see the degree to how strange he feels C G talking to me is such a big deal, he wants to throw his past away
DA That attitude is right at his heels C GA doesn't know exactly how to feel, the truth is scaring him away, scared away
Chorus: DG D Where do you go to prove you're a man, like a kid who can't understand A what's the truth and what's a lie. DG D
You can turn it off or turn it on, having that switch proves something's wrong G I see the struggle in his eys.
Verse 2: His whole demenor is being rude once a confrontation has been ensued The chaos proves too much to take There's a fight between what's right and wrong I hope it doesn't take too long We need an answer right away...right away
