New York — The Jelly Jam will release their new album Profit on May 27th via Music Theories Recordings \/ Mascot Label Group. DREAM THEATER\u2019s John Myung, WINGER\u2019s Rod Morgenstein, and KING\u2019S X Ty Tabor will tour globally for the first time to support the recordings. Profit is a cinematic experience, full of suspense, as the individual songs sequentially follow the heroic yet daunting journey of The Prophet, who inspired by a deep sense of responsibility embarks on a mission to try and save the world, aiming to open the eyes of those who will not see .<\/p>\n
When asked about collaborative efforts of The Jelly Jam guitarist Ty Tabor describes John as, \u201cThe forefather of the band,\u201d and enthuses that \u201cPlaying with Rod has been a lifelong dream. I was a huge fan of his right out of high school and The Dixie Dregs transformed my idea of what a band could do. Rod was a huge part of the insanity on all of those early Dixie Dregs albums. It\u2019s just a joy to get to play with him.\u201d<\/p>\n

The band\u2019s first album The Jelly Jam was released in 2002, followed by 2004\u2019s The Jelly Jam 2. The members\u2019 work with Dream Theater, Winger and King\u2019s X kept the band away from the studio until the critically acclaimed Shall We Descend in 2011 marked a triumphant return for the trio. <\/p>\n
Guitarist TY TABOR\u2019s musical pedigree is vast. Not only has he produced The Jelly Jam\u2019s four albums, he wrote all three of KING\u2019s X top ten songs that include \u2018It\u2019s Love\u2019, \u2018Black Flag\u2019, \u2018Dogman\u2019 and toured the world with AC\/DC, PEARL JAM, CHEAP TRICK, SCORPIONS, IRON MAIDEN amongst others.

The Jelly Jam will support their latest album Profit with a full tour (dates to be announced). As guitarist Ty Tabor explains, \u201cThis album is without a doubt the most special moment the band has ever had together and we must make touring real this year to support this album.\u201d<\/p>\n
Guitarist Ty Tabor describes the album\u2019s concept as \u201ca fight between progress and jobs at all cost and not thinking about any future payment that are going to have to be made.\u201d Adding further that, \u201cEach Jelly Jam album is very different and we are most definitely discovering new ground. The first album was pretty straight ahead in its nature and vibe. The second album was more about the songwriting and had a very different feel. By the time we got to Shall We Descend, we were all at different musical places. It had more of a darker edge to it, but we finally realized that we had tapped in to something that was unique to us. There really is no Jelly Jam \u2018sound\u2019. In order to make Profit the strongest album, we recorded a lot of excess music and chose songs that work together towards the general story idea. Musically and sonically we started experimenting a lot further than we had before. It stands on its own as an album beginning to end with a purpose. It\u2019s not just a bunch of songs thrown together. It\u2019s an entire journey through a story.\u201d<\/p>\n
The complete track list features “Care,” “Stain On The Sun,” “Water,” “Stop,” “Perfect Lines (Flyin’),” “Mr. Man,” “Memphis,” “Ghost Town,” “Heaven,” “Permanent Hold,” “Fallen,” and “Strong Belief.” The album will be available in LP + Mp3, CD, Digital and MFiT formats.<\/p>\n
