Dynamite Hack's Bio:

Dynamite Hack album coverThe quirky post-grunge quartet Dynamite Hack was formed in Austin, Texas in 1997, taking their name from a line in the film Caddyshack. The main page of their website describes them as "Slack Rock Gods."

The group has a hot single, "Boyz n tha Hood" on their 2000 album Superfast.

Vocalist/guitarist Mark Morris, vocalist/bassist Chad Robinson, guitarist Mike Vlahakis, and drummer Chase Scott took their cues from bands like Weezer, Pavement, Jawbreaker, and the Barenaked Ladies.

Joe Nick Patoski, writing in the Texas Monthly, reviewed Superfast: "Clever lads, these Austin boys called Dynamite Hack. On their debut CD, Superfast, they lift street thugga lyrics from Eazy-E and Ice Cube's "Boyz-N-The Hood", rework them with breathy, sensitive vocals and folk-rock instumentation, and wrap the whole thing up with a musical nod to the Beatles' "Blackbird." Voila! A hilarios parody that is the biggest radio hit to out of Austin since Fastball's "The Way"- it's as if Ben Folds Five got the funk. Novelty aside, what about the other eleven cuts, all originals? Well, they all rock, thanks in no small part to the buzzsaw guitars and all the inflections of the Ramones, Ugly Americans, Steely Dan, Joe Jackson, and the Doors that I detect, making for the smartest power pop to break out of Texas in years."
