Rod Black is no stranger to North America’s rock music scene. As the former front man of Billboard-charting band Jet Black Stare (formerly signed to Island Records), Black achieved mainstream success with the hit single “Ready to Roll.” The track continues to resonate with NASCAR , NFL , NHL fans—blasting through sports arenas across the continent, spinning on digital jukeboxes, and airing on rock radio stations throughout the U.S. and Canada.

The single’s powerful momentum earned Jet Black Stare a Top #26 position on the U.S. Active Rock Billboard charts, solidifying Rod Black’s presence in the rock world.

JBS has shared stages with national acts like Shinedown, Theory Of A Deadman, Hinder, Seether & Three Doors Down to name a few.

Now, Black returns with an explosive new project — BLACK LYSTED —based out of Kelowna BC/Dallas Texas featuring Brett Hanson (drums) Eamonn Gallagher
( guitar)

The band delivers a hard-driving, emotionally charged sound, fueled by raw power and electrifying live performances. Together, they’re forging a path that’s both authentic and unapologetically bold—staking their claim in the next wave of modern rock.

Their latest single, “Words Are Like Weapons”, distributed globally via Virgin Music Group, is a striking showcase of BLACK LYSTED’s edge, energy, and evolution. It’s a must-add to every rock playlist.

The New Single “Stolen” will be released in the early summer.
