Colorado, United States (1978 – 1988, 1994 – present)

Jag Panzer were a / band originally formed in Colorado in 1978 as Tyrant. The band consisted of Harry Conklin on vocals, Mark Briody on guitar, John Tetley on bass, and Rick Hilyard on drums. They later found out that there was already a band in existence by the name of Tyrant, so they named the band Jag Panzer after the Jagdpanzer, which was a German WWII tank destroyer and literally means “Hunting Tank”. In 1983 their first recording, the EP known as “Tyrants”. Joey Taffolla then joined the band as a second guitarist in 1984 prior to recording their first full length album, entitled “Ample Destruction”. After at some failed attempts to gain popularity by moving to California, guitarist Joey Taffolla quit the band in 1985. Harry Conklin had left to play with Riot briefly and then formed his own band, Titan Force.

The line up consisted of Bob Parduba on vocals, Mark Briody and Christian Lasegue on guitar, John Tetley on bass, and Rikard Stjernquist on drums. With this line up the band set out to record a follow up to “Ample Destruction”. This album was recorded in 1987, but never got an official release, it has been re-released in 2004 as “Chain of Command”. With all of these troubles, the band decided to call it quits in 1988.

In 1994 the band reunited consisting of Daniel J. Conca on vocals, Mark Briody and Chris Hostka on guitar, John Tetley on bass, and Rikard Stjernquist on drums. With this line up the band recorded their second official album named “Dissident Alliance”, which was released in 1995.
