Jetboy drop new single “Since You Been Gone”

Jetboy have released their cover of Russ Ballard‘s track “Since You Been Gone” via Cleopatra Records. The song was written by the former Argent guitarist and first released on his 1976 solo album Winning. Rainbow included their cover of the song on their album Down To Earth (1979).

Jetboy‘s last album dates back to Born To Fly, which was released via Frontiers Music Srl on January 25, 2019. In an interview with Sleaze Roxx back in mid-January 2019, Jetboy guitarist Billy Rowe was asked what prompted the band to record that album.

Rowe indicated: “Yeah, exactly. It came about as our booking agent who handles a whole bunch of bands on Frontiers. I guess Matt who spoke with Nick who is the US representative at Frontiers — from what I heard, not his exact words but he said, “Oh you handle Jetboy? Do you think they have a new record in them? We’d sign them if you think you do or they do.” So our agent asked me, “Hey what’s going on? You’ve got this deal with Frontiers if you feel you can deliver a record.” Mick [Finn], Fern [Rod] and I said, “Yeah! Let’s do it!” That’s what ignited the whole thing. From there of course, it’s easier said than done. “Sure we’ll do a new record!” We scrambled for a hot minute and it just settled into place. It just rolled so easy. It was just easy, fine and everything to make. The energy was great. The moral of the band. We couldn’t be happier at how it came out. I guess it was just a meant to be thing you know!”
