The Jason Martinko Revue was formed in late 1999. The four-piece rock’n’roll band features Jason Martinko on vocals, guitar, piano & harmonica; Jordan McMillen on drums & organ; Nick Scuglia on bass & Steve Jacobs on tenor sax.

Jason S. Martinko, born April 19, 1979, began writing songs & performing at a very early age. By the 1990s he had played countless solo performances in different bars, clubs, coffeehouses, street corners & other social events. In 1997, after graduating high school in Pittsburgh, PA, Martinko went to Ocean City, Maryland where he made a living playing on the boardwalk nightly for tips. In time he made quite a name for himself, making headlines in several local newspapers & appearing in a TV commercial for an Ocean City bar.

In 1998, Martinko returned to Pittsburgh to record his first album entitled, “Soul Boy”. Martinko performed around Pennsylvania, Virginia & Maryland to promote the CD.

In 1999, Martinko met drummer Jordan McMillen, born May 5, 1983. Martinko & McMillen began to play shows with bassist Nate Fitzgerald. They would perform in countless seedy bars & roadhouses over the next few years. They went through many musicians including lead guitarists, sax & trumpet players. They began to record a new album.

In 2003, The Jason Martinko Revue released a self-titled album that would sell hundreds of copies. They appeared in many local Pittsburgh newspapers & on several TV commercials. In early 2003, the band also began to film a horror movie they had written as an attempt to better promote their band. The film, “Gone The Way Of Flesh” was finished in 2006 & is scheduled to be released by Troma Entertainment on DVD worldwide in early 2008.

In 2005, the JMR began playing several different strip clubs around Pittsburgh. With the hype of their name & movie, “Gone The Way Of Flesh” building up, they began to acquire many hardcore fans.

In 2006, The Jason Martinko Revue began recording their next album, “Damaged Goods” which would be released on Bonedog Records in 2007. They recorded at the Mojo Boneyard Studio based out of McKeesport, PA. Craig Bolton played bass on the album, but would soon be replaced by Nick Scuglia. Steve Jacobs, born November 18, 1966 played tenor sax. The JMR started production on their second feature film, “Gone The Way Of Flesh II: Fresh Bloody Flesh”. Their production company is called, Cut’N’Run Productions.

The Jason Martinko Revue continues to tour, promoting their one-of-a-kind style of rock’n’roll music that relates to people of all ages & colors. With their wide range of combined styles, no foot has gone untapped during any of their performances, yet their style has still gone unclassified. They truly are a category of their own.
