Blair Jones - Vocals, Mick Adkins - Guitar, Steve Adkins - Guitar, Justin "Ted" Everett - Bass, Patrick Whelan - Drums
Influences
Groove driven 'four on the floor' rhythms of bands such as AC/DC, Rose Tattoo and ZZ Top complimented by vocal melodies reminiscent of Stone Temple Pilots, Monster Magnet and Sound Garden
Well at long last the lads will get the chance to play as a five-piece when Blair joins the Tassie-based guys on stage in August 2009. The Brisbane Hotel in Hobart will be hosting a massive night of Australian hard rock with the Aussie Supergroup "RAISE THE FLAG". Rogue Sharks will be supporting this act throughout it's debut tour so look out for them when they come to your state.
Back in 2008 Blair, Mick and Steve welcome to the band a new powerhouse rhythm section. Filling the positions of drummer and bassist are Patrick Whelan and Justin 'Ted' Everett. Both guys are known for their metal and rock playing prowess having grown up listening to Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Kiss and the like. So stay tuned for gig dates.
Blair Jones along with Mick and Steve Adkins are the core members of the band. Founded in 1994 as a side project from their various cover bands, the past 12 years has seen the Rogue Sharks sound develop into something of an eclectic rock style ranging from metal to hard rock to punk!
When Steve was recruited in 1998 he brought to the band his skills as a producer and songwriter as well as his artistic flair for album cover and sleeve designs.
Back in 1994 Mick and Blair recorded their first E.P Lock Jaw under the banner Rogue Sharks, at Apollo Studios in Perth, Western Australia. The guys recorded the songs 'Lock Jaw', 'The Rattler' and their tribute to the legendary singer, Bon Scott, 'Bon Fire". At the time Mick was playing lead guitar in the Perth based AC/DC tribute band AB/CD and Blair was singing in the Australian Iron Maiden Tribute Show Power Slave Maiden Oz. Mick and Blair also worked together in the cover band 'Live and Dangerous' doing mini tours of country and coastal areas of W.A. On the rare weekend when the band/s were not playing, Mick and Blair would get together to write songs and record demos with a view to eventual professional recording and release.
In late 1996 Mick moved back to Tassie and played the covers circuit with various bands and in the process attempting to save enough money to record another EP. During the next couple of years Mick and Steve recorded demos and sent the CDs across the country to WA so that Blair could write the lyrics to their music.
In 2004 Mick, Steve and Blair took the plunge to finance the recording of the recently completed full length album of their original Rogue Sharks songs. The single "Let Me Go" was released in March of 2006 (listen to it above) and was recently included on the "Amplified 2006" promotional CD.
The Rogue Sharks sound is best described as heavy guitar based power rock ranging from blues based grooves to flat-out heavy metal with a new millennium edge. The current recordings feature bass guitar by local musician Steve Yost and drums by Frank Basile. The touring line up will be a five piece.
