Without Jade started in mid-2003, and reformed in 2006, combining forces from former bands Controlled Substance, Merlot, Inner Fury, Chizel, and Within. In powerful form, Nik Humphreys (vocals), Chris Videan (guitar), Jim Pruner (guitar), Adam Cortina (bass), and Michael Barnes (drums) create a new, fresh, unique and intriguing tone to put the face of the modern alternative-metal scene. All-in-All, Rochester New York's Without Jade attacks with energetic melodies injected through emotionally charged layered over driving rhythms.
