Jet Black Joy (1999-present): a Thrash Metal band from Denver, Colorado, USA.

n a time when musicians were dropping their guitars in favor of synthesizers and turntables, Jet Black Joy stepped in by late 1999 to fill the void. Using a Motorhead vocal range, heavy deep guitar, and influenced by the likes of Van Halen, AC/DC and Kiss, their music consisted of a hybrid of '70's and '90's hard rock raunch with socially aware lyrics. Featuring the membership of Byron Black (drums), Jimmy Jet (vocals), Nuclear J. (ex-Flannel; bass) and Biggie Joy (ex-Flannel; guitar) they got to work right away.

OriginallyBlack and Jet each played in separate outfits; Jet, for his part, was already establishing a musical recording career with the single, Indifference, on the German label 'We've Had Enough Records'. He then joined forces with Commander Adama (of Agression) to release a full-length, Negative Man, on Canadian indie label 'Amp Records', and a 7 inch Schooch Pooch's The Landonnas on 'Rum Dummy Records'. With such a career, it was a given that he would be called upon to front a band like Jet Black Joy soon after.
