By now, word has begun to spread about the triumphant return of one of the biggest underground bands of the now-legendary ’80s Sunset Strip glam metal scene, a band whose musical pedigree and historical importance is well known to music fans all over the world.
That band is JETBOY, and in 2019, a reunited Jetboy led by founding guitarist Billy Rowe and vocalist Mickey Finn, released the band’s first album of the 21st century. Then just this year, the band started teasing audiences with a series of heavily stylized, supercharged cover tunes that included versions of Rainbow / Russ Ballard “Since You Been Gone,” Hall & Oates’ “Rich Girl”, and Gary Wright’s classic “Dream Weaver,” the latter of which was released coincidentally just days before Wright’s passing.
Those singles seemingly pointed to a long gestating, much larger project that can now be finally revealed as Jetboy’s newest full-length recording. ”Crate Diggin’” once again unites Rowe & Finn along with guitarist Jimmie Romero, bassist Scott Richards and drummer Al Serrato for a full set of superb cover tunes, showcasing not only the band’s eclectic taste but also its immense gift for interpretation.
The album even includes a guest appearance by another Jetboy alumnus, the great Sami Yaffa of New York Dolls / Hanoi Rocks fame!
