jamie rowe -lrb- born april 7 , 1970 as earl wilson rowe , jr. -rrb- is the lead vocalist of the christian hard rock band , guardian .
he is also the lead vocalist for power pop band , the ruled .
his recording career began with the amateur band , tempest .
he has released a solo album : `` the beautiful ep '' -lrb- 1999 , massive groove records -rrb- , which was to be followed by a full length project .
jamie rowe 's full length solo debut titled `` songs for heaven & earth '' was released in 2004 .
in 2006 , it was re-released digitally by jamie 's own imprint peppermint daisy music .
miami , florida based jostom distribution currently distributes the recording in latin america .
billed as `` j.r. rowe , '' jamie and his brother , mikk rowe , founded the former christian glam metal band , tempest , in the late 1980s .
their debut album , `` a coming storm '' , recorded on pure metal records in 1987 -lrb- unreleased on compact disc until 1999 -rrb- , features jamie 's melodic voice with less grit and more high , falsetto screams -lrb- à la metallurgist mentor stryper 's michael sweet -rrb- than in his later work , and the lyrics contain a straightforward evangelical candor .
jamie and tempest recorded their second and last album on pure metal in 1988 , `` the eye of the storm '' , wherein , looking at the disc insert , jamie 's former unequivocal lyrics were traded in for those with an ambiguous `` you '' supplanting references to god in such songs as `` true love -lrb- never fade away -rrb- '' and `` lost without your love . ''
amid internal turmoil , tempest disbanded in 1990 .
after tempest , jamie joined the los angeles based band guardian .
guardian became one of the most successful bands in christian music throughout the 90 's .
he became widely known as a premier vocalist and performer .
in 2000 , jamie hooked up with vic rivera , scott miller and scott novello to form adriangale , a melodic rock band similar in style to guardian .
while the band 's lyrics were not explicitly christian , they were generally positive in nature .
the band released four studio albums and one live album before issues with their record label forced the band to leave the name behind .
the new band , known as crunch -lrb- also the title of adriangale 's fourth and final studio album -rrb- , recorded two eps worth of material and were a featured band at the prestigious firefest iv festival in nottingham , england in october of 2007 -lrb- their performance was filmed and released as a concert dvd by transistor pictures and the firefest organization in 2010 -rrb- .
in late 2012 , kivel records was able to come to terms with jamie and vic rivera and adriangale was successfully resurrected , resulting in jamie and the band quietly recording their latest album , `` suckerpunch ! ''
, which was released on september 27 , 2013 , coinciding with their comeback appearance at melodicrockfest 3 in arlington heights , illinois .
the album and performance were met with immediate praise from critics and fans alike , with jamie and the band planning to continue recording and playing live as adriangale .
