They released a cassette and a 7" on Witching Hour/Diffusion in 1997. They're great. 3) Jaded is a hard hitting, all female rock band. The members include Julie Steel on vocals, Britt Lightning on lead guitar, Laurel Wolff on bass and Hillary Blaze on drums. Boston, Massachusetts based hard rocking Jaded began in 2004, by ex Tootsie drummer Hillary Kooger stage name Hillary Blaze and guitarist Brittney Denaro, stage name Britt Lightning with the intent to form an all female hard rock band ala Motley Crue if you will. Drummer turned bassist Abbey Dragon, real name Abbey Denaro, Brittney's sister, would join the band next and finally vocalist Julie Steel real name Julie Bannerton would complete the band's line-up. Jaded quickly grew a large fan base in their local Boston area for their high energy live shows and homage to old school 80's style hard rock and heavy metal, a niche seemed long forgotten by the current music scene, this paved the way for the band's quickly growing popularity and saw them at the forefront of a barren landscape of re-emerging hard rock bands. By 2006 the band would release their self titled debut and began national touring with the likes of Skid Row and Stryper to name a few. Touring and playing live is really what gained the band their large following and the band became one Boston's most well known bands, male or female. By 2007 the band released an Ep called Scream, however by this time new bassist Laurel Wolff real name Laurel Marsh would replace Abbey and vocalist Julie Steel would leave the band and was replaced by vocalist Marina Storm, this would be short lived and the band brought in their third and final vocalist Katy Haze, real name Katy Reign would remained in the band for the duration of their career. Jaded would continue on and released another ep by 2010 called Higher and many hailed it for it's crunchy guitar driven hard rock and over all more honed in sound, fans and critics expected this to be the gateway into a new era of the band, however after the release, fans were left bewildered as the band went on hiatus, at the height of their success and popularity. Jaded's hiatus however would eventually become a break up and the band disappeared quietly. Their legacy and contribution to a revival of hard rock in the early 2000's is quite apparent as new fans discover the band and their recorded material is hard to find and much sought after. Drummer and founder Hillary Blaze would later resurface in the all female Judas Priest tribute band Judas Priestess, along with founder Brittney Denaro, joining hard rock legends Vixen as their current guitarist. 4) There are other artists that go by the name of Jaded, most notably an alternative rock band formed in 1996 by former child actress Tina Yothers and her brother Cory. Their sound had similarities to much of the alternative rock that was popular at the time (most closely resembling german band Guano Apes) but with strong pop sensibilities, funk influences and occasional use of brass as well as melodic female lead vocals to set them apart. They released one album in 2000, titled 'confessions'. 5) Another of these was a short lived project for musicians at a music school in Acton (London, UK) in the mid-00's. They were a four piece rock band fronted by female vocalist AJ. The band did well at a 'battle of the bands' competition in London and started gaining a quite a bit of attention from record companies shortly before splitting up. Guitarist Ed went on to be a main part of the band Jack Viper. 6) Jaded was a noisy Norwegian indie rock band formed in the mid 1990's. The band broke up in '99 after two releases, both on vinyl only; the self released 7" "1405" and the "Fluffy EP" on Garralda Records. The members went on working together and later also joined other projects like Serena Maneesh, Infidels Forever, Le Corbeau and The Unmist.
