**Pink Switchblade** (*stylized **!|P/I/N/K-S/W/I/T/C/H/B/L/A/D/E|!***) was an American hard rock/nu-metal band formed in Fredericksburg, Virginia, USA in 2025.

## History

### 2025-2029: early years

In 2025, Tyler Jett decided to form a band with his friend, Michael Hall. Hall brought Jackson White on as drummer, and Hall's (at the time) boyfriend, Thomas Hoult on as bassist. Hall was assigned lead guitarist duties and Jett took over as singer. On July 4, 2025, Reckless Liability was released to modest success. Pink Switchblade immediately followed the EP up with Eatin' Pie, which did worse upon release than Reckless Liability. The group decided to take a four year break before releasing their next EP, After Hours, on October 11, 2029. James Park, the CEO of Reprise Records at the time, discovered After Hours on his Spotify Recommended Page and immediately called Pink Switchblade in for a meeting. Following the meeting on October 20, the band was signed to a four record deal with Reprise. But the group had one massive condition: They had full control over the records they made. Reprise obliged.

#### 2030-2035: rise to prominence and *Alive!*

On August 9, 2030, Pink Switchblade released their self-titled full-length debut record, their first release under Reprise. The group then embarked on their first tour, which lasted from August 14, to December 10, 2030, entitled the Punk Rock God Tour. Pink Switchblade was followed by the group's fourth extended play on March 3, 2033, titled Euphoria. On November 6 of that year, Long Way Down was released, which was followed by the eponymous tour, which ran from November 22, 2033, to March 7, 2034. On August 6, 2035, the group released their third full-length record, Venom. This would be Pink Switchblade's final official release under Reprise, as the company would cease on September 23. The album was followed by the Venom Tour, beginning August 13, along with the group's first live record, Alive!, which released on November 1.

##### 2036-2038: Youngblood and the hiring of Sara Roth

The Venom Tour came to an end on February 19, and on March 6, Pink Switchblade released their first record under Music is Dead, Inc., which the group founded the year prior, titled Youngblood. The record was a concept album about a man on his deathbed recounting the events of his childhood, when he was a young blood. On June 9, Dance with the Devil was released, which was followed by the Dance with the Devil World Tour, beginning on June 16 of that year. On August 1, World Domination was released, followed by Permanent on September 12. On October 23, one week before the final show of the first leg of the Dance with the Devil World Tour, Jackson White attempted suicide, causing the cancellation of the final date of the leg. On December 17, Invasion was released. The final show of the Dance with the Devil World Tour was performed at Madison Square Garden on March 30, 2037. Following the conclusion of the tour, Tyler Jett, Michael Hall, and Thomas Hoult, along with Jett's wife, Layla Moon, all began to agree that Jackson White was becoming a liability for Pink Switchblade, and on April 11, after a Las Vegas residency, Jackson White was extracted from Pink Switchblade and subsequently replaced by session musician Sara Roth, who had previously filled in for White in 2035 after he had broken his wrist, contributing to Venom during this period. See You at the Show was released on August 7, 2038. White was credited as the album's drummer, and it wasn't until the eponymous tour where Sara Roth was officially revealed to be White's replacement.

###### 2039-2043: *Alive III*

The See You at the Show World Tour concluded on February 19, 2039, and, after over a year of silence from the group (excluding their first compilation album, Chronicle), the group released Out of Touch on September 1, 2040. On September 19, the Out of Touch World Tour began. On November 30, Chronicle II was released, which included Youngblood, Dance with the Devil, and See You at the Show. The Out of Touch World Tour concluded on March 9, 2041, which was then immediately followed by the Chronicle World Tour, which began on September 19, 2041, and concluded on December 6, 2042, serving as the group's first full non-stop tour. On March 6, 2043, Folie A Deux was released, followed by The Greatest Fucking Show on Earth!, aka Alive III, on May 1, which was a live recording of a Folie A Deux Tour stop. The tour concluded on July 27.

### 2044-2050: The Vault Experience and the death of Jackson/Eric White

On May 1, 2044, Pink Switchblade began The Vault Experience, which ran for six months. On June 5, 2046, Nightstand was released, which was followed by the Nightstand Tour on August 27. The tour concluded on February 19, 2047. Murder City was released on March 1, 2047, followed by the Murder City Tour, reuniting the group with Jackson White. On August 9, 2049, Shoot My Love was released, which would be the last album to feature Jackson White on drums. On August 9, 2050, exactly one year later, White committed suicide in his Los Angeles home at 7:03 PM. On November 10, The Betrayal was released, which was dedicated to White. The World Domination Tour began the next day.

#### 2051-2061: breakup

On June 21, 2051, Bullet in a Bible was released, which was a live recording of Pink Switchblade's final show with Jackson White. On March 6, 2052, The New Act was released, which featured the return of Sara Roth. On March 13, the World Domination Tour concluded. One Nation Under Rock and Roll released on July 6, 2053, which was followed by the eponymous tour, beginning on August 1. The tour concluded on February 14, 2054. By this point, Pink Switchblade was beginning to fall apart. On November 6, 2054, The Lion's Den was released, followed by Rockstar on August 1, 2056. On July 11, 2057, Deathgasm was released, followed by the Deathgasm Tour on August 21. The tour concluded not even a month later on September 19. After complete silence for three years, Pink Switchblade released Home on October 14, 2060. The Home Tour then began on October 19, followed by We Bid Farewell on January 15, 2061. On February 21, the Home Tour concluded and Pink Switchblade announced their breakup, effective immediately.

##### 2062-2066: solo efforts and reunion

Following Pink Switchblade's split, all four members formed separate solo projects. Tyler Jett formed The Death of a Bachelor, Michael Hall formed The Fabulous Killjoys, Thomas Hoult formed Bluejay, and Sara Roth formed Bloodletting. The latter was the first to release their debut, as Bloodletting's self-titled debut record released on March 7, 2061. Bluejay released "Worried About Nothing" next, on May 11, of that year. The Fabulous Killjoys followed by releasing "Beautiful Mistakes" on July 1. The Death of a Bachelor was the last to release, releasing :Shōjo Tsubaki" on July 7. On August 6, The Death of a Bachelor kicked off The Lifetime Tour. The Fabulous Killjoys began the Beautiful Mistakes Tour on September 9. Bluejay and Bloodletting never toured. On May 17, 2062, Bluejay released "Bluejay Live! and Uncensored", which would become the first of three live albums from the project. It was taken from Bluejay's first live show at the Canal Club in Richmond, Virginia, on November 6, of the previous year. All projects continued to run until being deactivated on March 1, 2066. Pink Switchblade reformed, and that same day, Pink Switchblade performed their first show together in 5 years. "The Return of Pink Switchblade!" was released on June 21, and was followed by the group's comeback record, "X", on August 10, of that year. The X Tour began on August 27.

###### 2067-2071: final projects and Farewell Tour

The X Tour concluded on March 27, 2067, and Pink Switchblade immediately got to work on their twentieth studio outing. On November 6, "Mainstream" was released to critical acclaim. On November 10, the Stab the World in its Heart World Tour began. On December 19, 2068, "Anarchy" was released, but failed to reach the same success as "X", and "Mainstream". On March 1, 2069, the Stab the World in its Heart Tour concluded and Pink Switchblade immediately got to work on what would become their final studio record. On January 11, 2070, Pink Switchblade's Farewell Tour began. On July 5, 2070, Pink Switchblade released their twenty-second and final record; "Sold Out". The album debuted at number 1 on the Billboard 100 Rock Albums Chart and the 200 Albums Chart. On December 2, 2072, the Farewell Tour concluded. On December 29, "The Final Farewell" was released, and Pink Switchblade was officially deactivated.
