Bio:

Jetboy is an American San Francisco-based hard rock band founded in 1983 by guitarists Billy Rowe and Fernie Rod. Best described as a blend of edgy rock and roll with a traditional blues based influence. Jetboy got the attention of music fans and record executives alike in Hollywood during the mid 1980s. The band transplanted themselves to Los Angeles in 1986 after signing a deal with Elektra Records. Their musical influences ranged from punk rock to rock 'n' roll to blues. Their 1988 debut album Feel the Shake peaked at 135 on The Billboard 200.After parting ways with original bass player Todd Crew in mid-1987, the band was joined by former Hanoi Rocks member Sami Yaffa. Yaffa, a member of one of the groups Jetboy had found most influential, was now a member of the band as their new bassist. In August of 1987 Todd Crew died due to a drug overdose in the hotel room of Guns N' Roses guitarist Slash. Jetboy continued on into the 1990s before disbanding in 1992. However, over a decade later, Jetboy reconvened, toured and recorded a new EP, Off Your Rocker in 2010. Having been absent from the studio for some 20 years, Jetboy recorded Off Your Rocker in a fully organic mode. The band played all in the same room together in a “live-style” format in an effort to duplicate the way the songs were written, all together, in a true 1970’s fashion where the band could feed off of one another’s energy.Jetboy has continued to gain in popularity, and has continuously played to large crowds at festivals across the United States including Rocklahoma, The South Texas Rock Fest, Rock the Bayou & The M3 Festival two times.On June 1st 2012 Jetboy did a 25-year reunion for their debut album ‘Feel The Shake’ at the Whisky A Go Go in Hollywood. The show was also a release party for the movie Rock Of Ages which featured a few images of Jetboy. The line-up for this show included all original members with a surprise appearance by their second bass player Sami Yaffa who is currently playing in the Michael Monroe Band. This was the first time they all shared the stage together in over 20 years. Jetboy plan to continue with the original line-up with Charles Norman on bass who replaced Yaffa for the Damnednation tour in 1989.January 25th 2014 during NAMM weekend Jetboy supported Faster Pussycat at the Whisky A Go-Go to a sold out crowd to celebrate the club's 50-year anniversary.Jetboy geared up in late 2015 to bring their style of rock n roll to the stage again. The band performed at Riki Rachtman's Cathouse Live on August 15th 2015 at the Irvine Meadows Amphitheater in Irvine, California.Three songs from Feel the Shake were featured in the 1989 movie The 'Burbs, starring Tom Hanks. They were "Bloodstone", "Locked in a Cage" and "Make Some Noise". Additionally, two songs from Feel the Shake, "Feel the Shake" and "Make Some Noise" were also featured in the 1989 movie She's Out of Control.

Album:

French reissue label Bad Reputation has been doing a great job releasing 'Collector Series / Remastered with Bonus', with the main attraction being the addition of a bonus tracks or bonus disc, making these reissues the 'definitive expanded versions'.Requested by one of you, here's the remastered reissue of JETBOY's "Damned Nation [Bad Reputation remaster +7]" including seven collectible bonus tracks.After their sleazy punky debut album, Jetboy changed the musical approach according to times; for the band's second album "Damned Nation" the group fit the 1990 production sound to polished, melodic hard rockers with catchy choruses.While many listeners doesn't like the gritty attack of Jetboy's first album - and their new 2019 CD as well - these should check out "Damned Nation".This album will appeal melodic hard rockers and traditional hard rock fans as well, because it's closer to Poison / Britny Fox shiny melodies and the 'more mature' Guns N' Roses stuff of their Use Your Illusion era.Opener 'Stomp It (Down To The Bricks)' start the CD with definite hair metal bounce, pumping bass lines, and clean guitars / vocals. While driven by crunchy riffs, 'Moonlight' is very melodic and catchy, and you can tell this is a 'new' Jetboy.Part of this new approach must be credited to Duane Baron & John Purdell production job. Both previously worked in King Kobra, Quiet Riot, Night Ranger and Motley Crue's 'Girls Girls Girls' (among others) productions, so this give an idea on the sound provided to "Damned Nation".'Heavy Chevy' is heavy and punchy yet always melodious, a song titled 'Evil' may feel aggressive but it's a hairy melodic rocker, then 'Ready To Rumble' makes you think about Kix's catchiness.Of course there's a power ballad as well, 'Too Late', some kind of a mix between Poison and Warrant.This Bad Reputation remaster sounds great, adding 7 bonuses in a really good quality sound in the form of 'High Gear' and the killer 'Suicidal Shakedown' (think commercial LA Guns) and a lovely cover of KISS' staple 'Hard Luck Woman'.Even the demo versions - including a quite different take on 'Heavy Chevy' - sound great, pre-production quality.If you usually pass Jetboy's music, you better listen to "Damned Nation [Bad Reputation remaster +7]", a very, very good piece of US Melodic Hard Rock made 1990.
