Biography

Bullets and Octane is a band originally from St. Louis, Missouri, but now based out of Orange County, California. The band released their debut EP “The One Night Stand Rock N’ Roll Band” under the name “Bullets N’ Octane” in January 2003. They changed their name to “Bullets and Octane” for the release of their debut album, “Revelry”, which was released in September 2004 on the independent label Criterion Records. The band was originally comprised of Gene Louis on vocals, Jack Tankersley and Skye Jayne on guitars, Brent Clawson on bass, and Ty Smith on drums.

Bullets and Octane signed to RCA Records in 2005. Jack Tankersley and Skye Jayne were replaced by guitarist James Daniel, and the band released their major label debut “In the Mouth of the Young” in April 2006. Skye Jayne later ended up in the band The Chelsea Smiles, with whom he currently plays. In early 2006, they toured as openers on Avenged Sevenfold’s City of Evil arena tour. After recently finishing a tour around western USA with Bullet for My Valentine, Bullets and Octane then heading off for another UK tour with Stonesour this time.

In 2007, Bullets and Octane announced their split with RCA Records, claiming they were mistreated. They are set to release the self-produced album ‘Song for the Underdog’ during their US tour in June with Unwritten Law, selling it only at shows for the first month. After this, they plan to release the album digitally, then retail. Bullets bassist Brent Clawson has taken over all mixing and producing duties for this album.

    I remember getting into them in 2006 / 2007 and getting obsessed with them cause I've always loved that dirty rock n roll / Appetite for Destruction sound, and these guys were one of the only bands to actually be any good at it. Then they released Song for the Underdog to virtually no press, and me and my friend looked at each other in disgust as these middle of the road Foo Fighter lite songs came out of our CD player. Found a 20mb rip of their self titled album 2 years later and it wasn't much better. What a waste.

    They said on facebook they're reuniting with all the original members for a live show but hopefully they'll make something new too.

    SVJ is pretty good. Saw one of the last Chelsea Smiles shows and ended up chatting with him about Hanoi Rocks for a little while. Cool dude and a good front man as well!

    Couldn't help but notice, all their awesome songs from ITMOTY have Skye Vaughan-Jayne in the credits. He left during that album, and nothing since has hit the mark...
