history

The band was formed in the summer of 2013 when singer Alia Spaceface and guitarist Flo the Fly met. Both work as tattoo artists and quickly discovered that they had the same musical preferences. Together with bassist Steve Burner and drummer Montgomery Shell, the musicians founded the band Travelin Jack. The band name comes from the novel The Talisman by Stephen King and Peter Straub . The band released the 7 "single Madness on August 1, 2014 via the small record label " El Bruto " before the band was signed by This Charming Man Records label. On September 4, 2015, the debut album New World was released on this label In 2015 the band played at the Reeperbahn Festival , Muscle Rock, Desertfest and the “Freak Valley Festival”.
