Having recently won plenty more fans with a raucous set at Download Festival (not to mention a stripped down acoustic one as well), this southern UK quartet unleash the kind of ‘80s-infused metal that’ll have you head banging and punching the air.
Riffs, solos and hooks come thick and fast and they’ve already played a number of festivals and played with the likes of Whitesnake and Airbourne.
Having released their debut single ‘Get Your Hands Dirty’ through Spinefarm UK in May and with another festival spot at Relentless Boardmasters on the Vans stage in August, Jettblack are making a name for themselves as one of the hardest working, hardest rocking bands around.
