1. The Jacks (also known as … Read Full Bio ↴There are a lot of bands called The Jacks:
1. The Jacks (also known as the Cadets) were an American doo wop group from the 50/60s
2. Jacks ( ジャックス) were a 1960s Japanese psychedelic rock group who released their best known studio album Vacant World (marketed as 'Karappo No Sekai' [Vacant World] or 'Jacks no Sekai' [Jacks' World] in Japanese) in 1968. The Jacks, originally known as Nightingale, began their career in 1966 as a folk trio. After jazz drummer Takasuke Kida joined the group they headed into a new musical direction. Vacant World is widely seen as one of the most important Japanese albums. The song 'Vacant World' (or 'Karappo no Sekai' in Japanese) was famously banned from Japanese airwaves due to lyrical content. The Jacks' musical legacy has carried on in Japan despite the fact that their career was quite short, disbanding shortly before the release of their second studio album Super Session (or 'Jacks No Kiseki' in Japanese).
3. The Jacks are 3 girls & 1 guy from Holland. They play rock music with a hint of pop.
Marcia's edgy voice and Estelle's nasty guitar solos are carried by the sturdy rythm section. Put them on a stage and you will experience a raw, energetic show.

5.The Jacks, Northampton, UK
In the spring of 2007 Dom - lead vocals, rhythm guitar and Paul - bass, backing vocals got themselves together to form a band in their home town of Northampton. They had gone to school together and had kept in touch through their different Universities in Newcastle (Dom) and York (Paul). One of a long line of drummers was in place and THE JACKS did their first gig, not in Northampton, but all the way down in south-east London in a bar called Imbibe. Their soundman was the lad from the local hometown guitar shop who Dom had persuaded to come for the ride, but on seeing the band he had a different idea and offered to be the bands lead guitar player so from the 2nd gig onwards THE JACKS were four.
With changing drummers, THE JACKS spent the rest of 2007 gigging around Northampton and up to their University Cities trying to find a way to get their music heard. Before long they found that they had sold out Camden’s Barfly twice. Support slots followed in Newcastle at the Academy with the likes of One Night Only, Newton Faulkner, The Days, A-Human and Imperial Leisure.
In 2008 THE JACKS also managed to hustle some support slots with press darlings THE LONG BLONDES and joined them on three dates of their UK tour in Newcastle, Oxford and Northampton.
In the winter of 2008 they got some down time at Fish Factory Studios in Neasden to record their first single with producer Saul Davies (James). Around the same period at about 5am Dom was mooching around outside Gazza’s Rocking Blues in Soho where he met Martin. The night finished the following morning with the two paddling in the Thames by Putney Rowing Club. Later it emerged that Martin played the drums and he was recruited to join the band at the beginning of 2009. [source: www.altsounds.com]

Where
The Jacks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We looked at each other in the same way then
But I can't remember where or when
The clothes you're wearing are the clothes you wore
The smile you are smiling you were smiling then
But I can't remember where or when
Seem to be happening again
And so it seems that we have met before
And laughed before, and loved before
But who knows where or when
The Jacks' song "Where" is a reflection on the strange feeling of familiarity and deja vu that can come with meeting someone new. The lyrics suggest that the singer feels as though they have met the person they are talking to before, but they can't quite place where or when. This feeling is intensified by the fact that the person is wearing the same clothes and smiling in the same way as they were before.
The repetition of the phrase "where or when" underscores the uncertainty and confusion of the singer's emotions. They are grappling with the idea that they may have a past with this person, but they can't say for sure. The line "Some things that happened for the first time seem to be happening again" adds to this sense of repetition and suggests that history may be repeating itself.
The chorus of "Where" speaks to a universal feeling of connection and the idea that two people can have an unspoken bond that transcends time and space. Despite the ambiguity of the singer's memories, they feel a strong sense of familiarity and warmth towards the person they're speaking to. The song ultimately suggests that there are some things in life that are beyond explanation or rationality, and that our emotions and intuition can be just as powerful as our memories.
Line by Line Meaning
It seems we stood and talked like this before
We have this strange sense of familiarity that we have been in this situation and spoken like this before
We looked at each other in the same way then
Our gaze and expressions towards each other were eerily similar in that past encounter
But I can't remember where or when
Despite the similarities, the exact time and place of our previous encounter remains a mystery to me
The clothes you're wearing are the clothes you wore
Your attire now is reminiscent of what you wore previously
The smile you are smiling you were smiling then
Your present smile brings to mind the same smile you had in our previous encounter
But I can't remember where or when
Again, the exact details of our previous meeting elude me
Some things that happened for the first time
There are certain experiences that feel like they are truly unique and one of a kind
Seem to be happening again
Yet, those same experiences are repeating themselves once more
And so it seems that we have met before
It's becoming more obvious that we have crossed paths or interacted in some meaningful way, at some indeterminate point in the past
And laughed before, and loved before
Not only have we met, but we have also shared joyful moments and perhaps even romantic feelings
But who knows where or when
Despite all these connections, it remains a mystery as to when and where our paths have truly crossed before
