Jet Black Stare

At 19 years old Rod Black died. Four days later he was back in the emergency room, this time due to a near fatal car crash. It's no surprise that after not one, but two scrapes with the Reaper that Rod Black saw the light, and the reason for his life. Music is that light, as is the band he fronts, Jet Black Stare. Shane Hayes (bass), Flip (guitar) and Dave Muselman (guitar), and Dan Swinimer (drums) round out the Vancouver, British Colombia group that has become a vessel for their frontman's life and death stories.

Jet Black Stare will release their major label debut, In This Life, July 15th. The album, a hard-rocking tour-de-force, is laden with arena-rock smashes like first single, "Ready To Roll," a pedal-to-the-metal anthem that will bring you charging down the drag strip and "It's Over," described as "the catchiest tune ever written about a cheating ex" as well as the epic tune "The River" and bluesy ballad "Fly."

Perhaps it was an early album review by Tune Lab Music that summed it up best when they said, "In This Life is a blessing to modern rock today!"

In This Life hits stores July 15th
