The Jettison Commitment

The Jettison Commitment (AKA TJC) is a hardcore, metal, abstract band that’s an integral part of the London, Ontario music scene. Their all original music combines fast paced (smash in your face with a shovel) heavy metal with softer tripped out melodic interludes that will make your head spin, adding to that the most catchy chorus known to mankind that will burn in your ears for years to come.

Members of The Jettison Commitment are Joel Dumas (vocals), David Goodman (bass/vocals), Adam Blais (guitar/vocals), Justin Simas (drums/vocals) and Steve Krych (guitar/vocals).

On March 10, 2009 they played St. Andrews Hall, having won the Detroit 2009 Ernie Ball “Taste of Chaos” Battle of the Bands. This opportunity, the tremendous audience response and label and media awareness has created a new inspiration, and a new energy that has become the thriving force behind the bands latest projects.

“This Changes Everything”, their highly anticipated five song EP based on the human emotions, stresses, joys and reality of today has just been completed, and is officially out!! It was produced at the @ Room by Aaron Murray (The Used, Rise Against, Baptized In Blood, The Salads, K-OS, Grady, The Trews). Two of the tracks (Cuts Hurt Kids, and Double Rye & Coke) are currently being played on FM96 and FM96.com, the requests for these songs and fan support has been great surprise for Jettison. The Bands MySpace page is also currently featuring 3 of the tracks on the EP.

The JC just came off an Ontario and Quebec tour promoting this new album which started July 17 in Toronto at Lee’s Palace and included dates in Mississauga, Kingston, Brockville, Montreal, Timmins and North Bay. This tour was a huge success for the band, and a bigger tour including more of Quebec and the East Coast in the works for late fall.

The official CD Release show for “This Changes Everything” was on August 20th and the show was a huge success. Sharing the stage with Dead and Divine and Straight Reads the Line at Call the Office in home base London, ON. This show was OFF THE WALL and proves what is to come ahead for the guys in TJC. Since TJC are one of the bands on the SummerCamp Productions roster they will no doubt be proving it time and time again especially with now having gotten the tour feet wet and on top of that having shared the stage with such heavyweight bands as Every Time I Die, Bring Me The Horizon, Thursday, Four Year Strong, Moneen, Silverstein and countless others.

Having jumped many hurdles to get to this point, The Jettison Commitment are bigger, stronger and faster than ever and will stop at nothing until they rip every last one of your faces off. Just try to tell them otherwise!
