Jose is married with 2 kids. Outside of his day job, Jose is a drum&bass/hip-hop producer.
Colby is an independent contractor and is now playing bass in an awesome band called Vultures United, check them out!
Colin is currently going to school at Fresno State and is a drum tech for bands such as Pennywise & Juliette Lewis and the Licks when his schedule permits. Last winter Colin recorded 4 new songs with Jet Black Halo and it's "rumored" that he will be making an appearance at JBH's last show.
We finally found Justin and he's graduated from UCLA, still playing drums, and probably just as crazy as ever... he is an actual ninja and at one time attempted to build his very own hobbit hole until he was attacked by a bunch of killer bees... no B.S.!
In a world “where shadows cling and forfeit wings” hope is often unfound and forgotten. In an attempt to invoke change, Jet Black Halo strives to open the hearts and minds for a more active, passionate and knowledgeable music scene.
Re-formed in the fall of 2003 (originally called As I... 1999-early 2003) Jet Black Halo has been working hard toward expressing their creative outlook on the human condition. To further their influence and aspirations, the band has entered the studio for their second release and is taking every opportunity to perform empowering shows for live audiences. The first full length was released in 2000 by Geykido Comet Records called, Rise and Scream.
The music of Jet Black Halo is best described as fitting somewhere in the spectrum of hardcore, pop-punk, and melodic rock’n’roll. The passion bleeds through the music as an accurate expression of the angst, desperation, and urgency in the message they convey. “These broken wings, these hopes and dreams, can still set us free.”
