JETTBLACK get serious in
2015, kicking things off with a headline tour and new single in February,
followed by a brand new album ‘Disguises’ in April.
Formed in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire in
2007, and drawing inspiration from an era when rock bands had ‘entertaining an
audience’ high on their list of things to do, JETTBLACK unleash
incredibly well-crafted and hook laden, powerful melodic rock and
roll.
With two albums under their belts ‘Get
Your Hands Dirty’ (2010), and ‘Raining Rock’, (2012) plus mini
album Black Gold (2013), this four-strong outfit have continued to hone
and polish their skills delivering stunning material that has built them a solid
and growing fan base as well as a list of high profile admirers and
collaborators. Ian Paice (Deep Purple), Udo Dirkschneider
(Accept) and Damon Johnson (Thin Lizzy, Alice Cooper) have al
featured on JETTBLACK releases, sold on the quality and delivery of their
songs.
None of JETTBLACK’S songs are
conceived to stand in the corner, away from the spotlight; these are BIG,
finely-crafted compositions with a built-in swagger, fuelled by the self-belief,
passion and next level musicianship.

On the live circuit JETTBLACK have
been strutting their stuff around the UK and Europe with sold out shows becoming
more and more of a common occurrence. Blowing bands off of the stage is becoming
second nature for them, as the live show has hit new heights and an unstoppable
energy. Notably they’ve shared the stage with peers such
as Papa Roach and appeared at a number of top festivals
(Download, T In The Park, Hard Rock
Hell, Sonisphere).
The band have now finished writing their
third full length album, due for release in April on Cherry Red Records.
Unveiling their first single ‘Explode’ vocalist/guitarist Will Stapleton
said:
“JETTBLACK has always done
things their own way. There has never been a conscious effort to write in a
certain style or pander to a certain trend or fashion. We’ve always had this
attitude as we feel it is the only way to write something that will stand the
test of time. This new album 'Disguises' is a full on reflection of that.
It’s about never hiding behind something you aren’t. It may feel a little more
serious and mature, but I think sometimes people forget we’ve been on a musical
journey for 17 years as musicians, so we’re always evolving. Don’t worry though,
it’s still full of huge choruses, massive riffs and and in your face production
and we’re all really proud of the evolution!”
Full-on, boldly constructed and walking a
fine and timeless line between the contemporary and the
classic, JETTBLACK make absolutely no concession
to the half-hearted or, well, the half-anything. This is glorious rock
music – unashamedly loud ‘n’ proud, and delivered with power, passion, craft,
and the secure knowledge that biggest can very often be
best….
