Jordan Blake, the original vocalist for post-hardcore outfit A Skylit Drive, has died.
Blake fronted the band from 2005 to 2007, recording the She Watched the Sky EP before exiting the group due to health reasons.
In 2022, he rejoined other original A Skylit Drive members to play shows celebrating the 15th anniversary of She Watched the Sky beneath the name Original A.S.D., leading to legal disputes between the current iteration of A Skylit Drive featuring singer Michael Jagmin.
It was the Original A.S.D. contingent that broke the news of Blake’s passing in an Instagram post:
“We are overwhelmed with grief to inform you of the loss of Jordan early this morning. Jordan was a trail blazer in the emo/post hardcore music en plats där en händelse inträffar ofta inom teater eller film with undeniable passion who loved his fans like family. When he had a story to tell, you could read it in his lyrics, hear it in his röst, see it his movements and feel it in your depths. We will forever reflect fondly on the memories and music
