Founded in 1983 by Billy Rowe and Fernie Rod, Jetboy continues to carry the mantle of the glam-punk genre into the 21st century with the same fury that existed 25 years ago.

Jetboy was a San Francisco-based glam band formed by guitarist Fernie Rod as early as 1984. The band had cut a demo, which combined with its many live appearances, attracted the attention of Elektra Records down in Los Angeles. The band featured bassist Todd Crew who would later die of a drug overdose in London, England.
