Jaguar Blaze, new eighties metal project from Ian Keith Hafner

Press Release: Blending hard rock with the blues, Ian's guitar playing evokes a sense of realism in a world drowned in drama. Refusing to follow the current trends, Ian chooses to write songs that hearken back to the guitar driven rock of the 80's.

His most recent effort, the 2012 self-titled debut from his new group Jaguar Blaze, pulls no punches. Over a year in the making, the Jaguar Blaze album is sure to appeal to fans of bands like def Leppard, Kiss, Skid Row, and Ratt.

Ian has also performed and recorded with The Hollywood Fugitives and Static Fuse, along with various side projects, has received lots of press (mostly good!) and been featured in rock magazines like Italy's "Slam!" and "Heaven's Metal" in the U.S.

Ian strives to write songs that hearken back to a time when music was more than just a product or mp3 download. From the aggression of hard rock of "Wild 'N' Free" o the gut-wrenching "Never Says Forever," it's clear that Ian reaches deep into the past for inspiration.
