Jesse Malin

Jesse Malin began his music career at the age of 16, as the front-man for the seminal New York City hardcore band, Heart Attack. Following its 1983 demise, Jesse worked on several other projects, including the band Hope, before forming glam punk band D Generation, for which he was the lead singer for eight years. As one of New York City’s most noted bands of the 90s, D Generation released three albums, before eventually disbanding in April 1999. In 2000, he launched his solo career with an album produced by former Whiskeytown front-man Ryan Adams. A deal with Artemis Records soon followed. The Fine Art of Self Destruction appeared in the United Kingdom in October 2002; lead off first single, “Queen of the Underworld” gained recognition and the British press quickly hailed Malin’s debut as one of the year’s best. He is currently working on the release of his eighth solo-effort, which will be available on Adeline Records. Visit him at www.jessemalin.com for more.
