Seattle-based Quickie releases “Phoenix Jones” single

Seattle power-trio Quickie are jumping on the superhero bandwagon with their newest single “Phoenix Jones” a cheeky ode to Seattle’s own guardian superhero Phoenix Jones.

According to Quickie lead singer Lou Trez:

“We have a real life superhero patrolling the streets of Seattle. Fighting crime. How could we not write a song about that? Phoenix Jones has a suit, he’s got guts, an alter-ego and a secret hideout. But every caped crusader needs their own signature song.” 

The song comes loaded with references to comic book legends such as the X-Men (“I don’t need my own professor X to make my brain cells or my muscles flex”) and “brings to mind the old Spiderman and Batman TV themes, but with louder guitars and a punk-rock attitude,” according to the band. The ode to Seattle’s fabled superhero was mixed by the legendary Jack Endino, who has his own super hero powers when it comes to music.

So far there has been no response from Phoenix Jones on his reaction to the song, according to Trez.

“We haven’t spoken with him yet. The song is a sincere tribute, but at the same time it doesn’t take itself too seriously. Hopefully he doesn’t, either.”

Added drummer Kelly Lichtenwaldt:

“Yeah. We don’t want Phoenix Jones to ‘Wham! Bam! Crack!’ our heads in.”
