Described as "the the sound of a new South Africa". BLK JKS (pronounced "Black Jacks") are a rock band from Johannesburg. Though the band has been together half a decade, they're just now starting to make waves in the music press. Their new album "Robots" avoids easy genre tags, snaking through kwaito, progressive, post-punk, and psychedelic rock. With vocals delivered in English, Zulu, and other South African tongues.
