Connecticut based Joetown has made a name for himself as one of the East Coast's powerhouse live acts, but cut his teeth playing hard rock on the Sunset Strip. His first band at 18 - "St Thomas", was signed to TNT/Capital Records and released "Electric City" to high critical praise and radio success with the hit single "I Hate..pt.1". Joe's attitude and approach to the songwriting was pivotal and influential in the transition in the LA rock scene from 80's Glam-Crap to serious Rock'n'Roll. After a couple of national tours, Joe became discontented with being just a guitar player and quit to move back east to NYC and front this own band. The band's explosive live show has allowed them to earn a cult-like following across the country, while frontman Joe Delaney has become an in-demand songwriter and producer. Delaney gained recognition--originating the acclaimed indie-rock band "American Trash" with Steve Broderick (Trans Siberian Orchestra),recording with Kings of Reality,recording the debut album for the aggressive rapcore band Dead by Wednesday and hard rockers Gargantua Soul. While not writing and recording Delaney manages Randall Amplifiers and Eden Electronics for US Music Corp. providing thundering amps to everyone from Kirk Hammett from Metallica to George Lynch, Scott Ian and Nuno Bettencourt.

Hailing from Wallingford, Connecticut, Joetown (who also goes by the name of Joe Delaney) started on the six-string at just eleven years old. The band Joetown was formed in 1997 after a short stint under the name "JØE" and released Rock n' Roll Man three years later, an album best described by one fan, who proclaimed, "This is what rock and roll is all about - dirty, mean and nasty!" In addition to Archives in 2007 and the re-release of Rock n' Roll Man with bonus tracks the same year, Joetown is be heard on the FX hit series, The Shield. Bad Boy Brands claimed People Who Rock as the corporate theme song for their licensing group of lifestyle attire, eyewear, and beverages. Delaney was also featured with Jimi Bell on Its So Easy: A Millennium Tribute to Guns N' Roses, the 2006 compilation on Versailles Records. Several Joetown videos have aired on VH1 and MTV, and the groups latest release, Pills and Ammo, was previewed with a track on the May 2008 Metal Edge CD sampler. In the same issue, Rock or Swim: Four Days on Vince Neil's Motley Cruise chronicled Joe's onstage exploits with his clan of Hollywood cronies.

As evidenced throughout Pills and Ammo, Joetown which sees guitarist Kerry Gollarney and bassist Keefer join Delaney is ready to unleash some truly fierce hard rock. Recorded at Joetown Studios (in Wallingford), the album marks a roaring blast into grittier territory. Fueled by bellowing ferocity and the full bar upstairs from the control room, the eleven tracks have the attitude of the first two albums, but with the hostility of a coarse, contemporary edge especially such standouts as Crash, Finger, and All My Angels, among others.

Currently, Joe is in the studio mixing two new tracks that didn't get finished lyrically in time for "Pills and Ammo" and also working on new tracks for release in 2010.  "I doubt I'll release a full length CD again in the near future… I'm recording with a different mindset-- one song at a time…release them online with other media assets included such as video and graphics etc…  I've been digging deep into my sub-conscience and exploring themes such as recurring childhood nightmares and broken memories… been reading a lot of Carl Jung,Joe Campbell and Alan Watts"
