Jesse Malin (born January 26, 1968 in Flushing , Queens , New York ) is an American rock musician. He is currently active as a solo artist.

Musical beginnings

Malin began his musical career at the age of 12 as the singer and guitarist of the New York hardcore band Heart Attack . After the band split up, Jesse worked on several other projects before founding the glam punk band D Generation , where he sang until they split up in 1999.

Malin continued to write music and formed the bands PCP Highway (with ex-D-Generation members Howie Pyro and Joe Rizzo) and Bellvue (briefly called Tsing-Tsing), who also released the album To Be Somebody on Goldenseal Records. The album contains the songs Solitaire , Basement Home , Brooklyn and Downliner , which should later be found on Malin's first two solo albums .

Solo career

As a fan of Neil Young , Tom Waits and Steve Earle , he spent the next two years working on a new sound. Former Whiskey Town frontman Ryan Adams , with whom Malin has been friends for the D-generation, was so impressed with Malin's new material that he offered to produce Malin's debut album , even though he had never been a producer before. The two began recording in January 2001 at Loho Studios in New York and recorded the entire album in six days. The album The Fine Art of Self-Destruction was released in October 2002 on Artemis Records in Great Britain . The single Queen of the Underworld became a small hit and the British press named Malin's debut one of the best of the year.

In January 2003 the album was finally released in the USA, followed by tours of the USA and Great Britain. He also contributed a cover version of Hungry Heart to the sampler Light of Day: A Tribute to Bruce Springsteen and a cover version of Death or Glory to the sampler White Riot Vol. 2: A Tribute to The Clash and was nominated for the Shortlist Music Prize.

In November 2003 he was back in the studio recording pieces for his second CD, The Heat , which was released in June 2004 and which was followed by several appearances on both sides of the Atlantic.

Malin also teamed up with Ryan Adams and Johnny T to form The Finger (under the pen name "Irving Plaza"), which released two EPs that were later combined on the album We Are Fuck You .

Malin's next album Glitter in the Gutter , which includes a cover version of Bastards of Young by the Replacements and the Bruce Sprigsteen duet Broken Radio (for which a music video was also released), was released on March 20, 2007. In November 2007 he released the live album Love It to Life , which he recorded at Gigantic Recording Studios in New York. The album contains songs from his previous albums and was only sold in the UK. In 2010, he released another album with new songs under the same title.

On April 7, 2008, he released a full cover album , On Your Sleeve , which includes songs by the Ramones , Sam Cooke , Neil Young and The Hold Steady, as well as a studio version of Fred Neil's Everybody's Talkin ' , a live favorite. The US version of the album partly contains different tracks than the version released in Great Britain.

In 2010 he recorded the album Love It to Life (the title comes from a Joe Strummer quote) with the band Jesse Malin and The St. Mark's Social, which goes in a slightly more rocking direction. As singles were from Burning the Bowery and All the Way from Moscow decoupled.

Malin was also one of the jurors at the “9th annual Independent Music Awards”.

In December 2010, Malin and members of Green Day formed the band Rodeo Queens, which published the song Depression Times and a video that went with it.

In addition, Malin played a small role in Martin Scorsese's Bringing Out the Dead in 1999 and was responsible for the music for the documentary Burning Down the House . He also co-hosted John Varvatos at New York Nights on Sirius XM's Spectrum from 2011 to 2014 .

In 2011 there was a D-Generation reunion , after which the band has been playing live again to this day.

In 2015 Malin released the albums New York before the War and Outsiders .
