In 2009, Jettblack played sets at Download Festival[2] and Relentless Boardmasters.[3]
2010 saw Jettblack added for two dates at the London Roundhouse at the end of the Kerrang! Tour.[4] The year also saw the releasing of their debut album, "Get Your Hands Dirty" on 7 June 2010.

They also played a number of small acoustic sets at the festival that same day. In September 2011, They played at Merthyr Rock Festival before setting out on another UK in November with Fozzy.
