Biography

"Yesterday's gone. Tomorrow never knows. Today will never be the same again."
- Jibe, "Yesterday's Gone", Uprising

Funny how these simple perceptive words can impact a listener with such devastation that it can forever alter their mindset. This brutal truth coupled with the band's passionate live display has made Jibe standout in Dallas' music scene and is beginning to elevate the artists, along with their upcoming tour, to a national presence.

The releasing and unleashing of instinctual energy is what a live Jibe experience is all about. The band's dynamic, adrenaline-fueled performance motions the crowd to become lost in the thrill of the moment. Spontaneous shifts and bursts inspire both the band and fans actions as front man Joe Grah often joins the two by blindly leaping into the arms of the audience. Chaotic and intense, each live Jibe show, much like their new album Uprising, exudes a feeling of elation.

Uprising captures twelve dynamic rock tracks exploring Jibe's reckless, melodic artistry. Defined as four unique entities moving together on a parallel path to achieve harmony and accord, Uprising specifically explains the curious unicity of Jibe's remarkable sound.

The men of Jibe crossed paths in Dallas, TX after originating in four different parts of the country. Joe Grah (vocals), Toby Bittenbender (guitar), Ben Jeffries (drums) and Corey Tatro (bass) have performed over a thousand shows as a band and successfully built a brotherhood alongside a flourishing audible sensation. Exercising their thirst for sweat and fan interaction Jibe has taken to countless stages from West Hollywood (Viper Room, Roxy) to New York (C.B.G.B.'s). Landing a spot on Jim Beam's "Road To The Rackhouse Tour" paired Jibe alongside Jerry Cantrell and Nickelback. These moments came after already sharing the stage with the Toadies, Our Lady Peace, Lit, Oleander, Creed, Fastball and Suicidal Tendencies. 2003 found the band touring with Marilyn Manson, Staind, Godsmack, Saliva, Sevendust, Crystal Method, Sammy Haggar, LoPro, the Burden Brothers and more.

Jibe received early success from Uprising's first single "Yesterday's Gone" and has continued to watch it climb the charts and playlist of several rock, active rock, and alternative radio stations.


  1. 1 Rock Track in the U.S. (Top 100 Rock Tracks of 2003 Radio & Records)
