Who was Jordan Blake?

Jordan was well-known for being one of the early pioneers of the high-pitched clean vocals mixed with screaming that became prominent in the post-hardcore music genre. He grew up with a brother and sister after moving to Lodi, California, on June 20, 1986.

Jordan Blake became a member of A Skylit Drive in 2007. He appeared on the programme She Watched the Sky. Jordan had an appearance in the album’s song “Drown The City” music video.

Between 2005 and 2007, Blake served as the band’s lead vocalist. Recently, to commemorate the 15th anniversary of their debut EP She Watched the Sky, the band’s original lineup from 2006, Blake re-joined the group.

According to rumors from 2007, Jordan left A Skylit Drive because of health concerns. The band Watchout! was founded by Jordan Blake and Joshua Stotts after they left ASD. There are Spirits present.

The group joined forces with Rise Records, which they used to release the single album “Ghost Town.” There is only one music video that the group has released, and it is for the song “The Shakeup.”

There were rumors that the group might release “Ghost Town 2.0,” its second album, in 2012, but the album was not released.

Due to health-related issues, Blake departed the band during a tour back in November 2007 since he was unable to continue traveling.
