Biography

Jagged Edge, also known as Jagged Edge UK in the US where there is an American R&B band with the same name, were a glam metal/rock band formed in London in 1987 by Myke Gray, former guitarist of the band Dorian Gray and briefly of UFO. The band went through numerous line-up changes before a somewhat stable line-up emerged. This line-up consisted of Gray, bassist Billy Kulke (former Chinatown, Persian Risk and Bronz), drummer Steve Hopgood and ex-Baby Tuckoo and Accept, vocalist Rob Armitage. The band toured with Ozzy Osbourne in the UK during June and July 1988.

However this line-up split before the band was signed to Polydor Records, and the band´s first EP, as well as the album Fuel for Your Soul, was recorded by the 1989 line-up of Gray, Swedish vocalist Matt Alfonzetti (ex-Bam Bam Boys), bassist Andy Robbins (ex-Tokyo Blade and Shogun and Italian drummer Fabio Del Rio who incidentally was a member of UFO shortly after Gray´s brief tenure. The line-up also included keyboardist Dave Rosingana who performed with Flashpoint, another rock band, not the Miami jazz ensemble.

After touring for the album, Polydor dropped the band which then split up and the members moved on to other projects. They played their last show in Dudley on 14 July 1991. Alfonzetti and Gray have started playing together again in the band Red, White and Blues which released an album titled Shine.
