Career

[edit]

Souls at Zero (1994–1996)

[edit]

Miller joined the band Souls at Zero, replacing drummer Shannon Larkin after he left to join Ugly Kid Joe in 1994. He played on Souls at Zero's final album A Taste for the Perverse.

Snot (1996–present)

[edit]

Miller joined Snot in 1996. Snot signed with Geffen Records, and began work on their debut album, Get Some, released on May 27, 1997. Although the album received positive critical notice, sales were disappointing.[1][2]

The band performed on the 1998 Ozzfest tour. In December 1998, band member Lynn Strait died in a car accident when a truck struck his car.

In 2008, the band reformed, with former Divine Heresy singer Tommy Vext on vocals.[3] Tommy Cummings and Sonny Mayo left the band, and a new band, Tons, was formed in 2009 with a new vocalist. They recorded three new songs titled "Ability & Control", "1000 Ways of Pain" and "Fan the Flames"[4] before members of the group moved on to new projects.

On February 11, 2014, Snot reunited again at the Whisky a Go Go in Hollywood.[5][6]

theStart (1998–present)

[edit]

Jamie Miller formed the synthrock band theStart (originally named Hero) along with Aimee Echo as the band's lead guitarist, synthesizer player and backing vocalist. They released three full-length studio albums and an EP on Geffen, Nitro and Metropolis. The band toured extensively.

The Offspring (2021)

[edit]

In September 2021, Miller performed with The Offspring filling in for friend Josh Freese due to Freese' prior commitments with Devo .

Influences

[edit]

Miller cited Budgie of Siouxsie and the Banshees as his favourite drummer for having "a signature feel" the Banshees as his favourite band. "Whenever I hear one of their songs, I can hear his drumming and know that it's him. I love drummers like that. It's not necessarily that they have a signature sound, but rather a signature feel".[7]
