Original Vocalist for A Skylit Drive, Jordan Blake, Has Died


Sad news as Jordan Blake, the original frontman of the post-hardcore band A Skylit Drive, has died. He was just 36 years old. No cause of death haas been revealed at this time. The news was broken by the band via social media. The family has requested privacy during this time. Blake helped the pioneering band quickly ascend to the top of their genre, but exited the group in 2007 after health issues forced him from touring.


In 2022 the band’s original 2006 lineup reunited for the 15th anniversary of their debut EP – She Watched the Sky. The group appeared at festivals such as So What?! and Swanfest 2022. RIP Jordan.

The band commented:

“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 scene 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 voice, see it his movements and feel it in your depths. We will forever reflect fondly on the memories and music we shared. We love you Jordan, we’ll see you down the road brother. “Always in our Hearts”.

We want to respect Jordan’s family’s wishes for privacy and space to grieve so we will not be commenting until further notice. Thank you all for reaching out and for your kind words. His legacy will live on through all of you.”
