Metal and Rock take a huge hit with the loss of Mike Reaves

  Album Cover Mike Reaves lost his battle with cancer on Monday, July 25th, 2011.

   Mike's West Tennessee-based Band "Full Devil Jacket" was signed to what is now the Island/Def Jam music Group, and they had a Gold record with their first album titled after the band. The band toured with Creed, Nickelback, and Type O Negative. They also played at "Woodstock 99," and was featured on the "Tattoo the Earth Tour" with Mudvayne, Slipknot, Sepultura, Slayer, and Coal Chamber, with Metallica  headlining one show.

   After Full Devil Jacket, Mike Reaves toured Europe with an unknown band and briefly worked with the pop singer Jasmine Cain. He also wrote and recorded with Randy Lovelace around Jackson, Tennessee. Reeves was living in Dyersburg, Tennessee and was with a band named 3 Legged Dog most recently.

Our sincerest condolences go out to Mike's family, loved ones, friends and band-mates.

Rest In Peace Mike...
