Portland, Oregon melodic Rockers SEQUEL debuted in 1982 with a self-titled album. SEQUEL bassist Todd Jensen also held association with MOVIE STAR (the group that spawned BLACK N' BLUE), AMERICAN MAN and HARLOW. As a session player, the bassist had also contributed to DORO's 1990 album, auditioned for OZZY OSBOURNE and that same year joined DAVID LEE ROTH's live band for the 'Little Ain't Enough' tour. During early 1993 Jensen briefly worked up a proposed band unit, dubbed X-RAY, with OZZY OSBOURNE, guitarist STEVE VAI and drummer Deen Castronovo. Jensen appears on ex-KEEL and COLD SWEAT guitarist MARC FERRARI's 1996 solo album 'Guest List'. Subsequently, Jensen came to attention with high profile tenures with acts such as ALICE COOPER, HARDLINE, STEVE PERRY and PAUL RODGERS.

The SEQUEL line-up re-united in 2004 and cut a third album for 2006 release. In November the band announced signature with Perris Records.
