The Jason Bonham Band was a British hard rock band founded by drummer Jason Bonham in 1989, the son of the late Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham.
In 1990, their debut album, The Disregard of Timekeeping, topped the rock airplay charts on the success of the single, "Wait for You", and helped Bonham garner a gold record on January 29, 1990 by the RIAA.
The band toured extensively for 2 years, but the impact of such early success on its young members caused a great deal of internal friction. After a lengthy tour, Bonham released their second and final album together, Mad Hatter. Jason decided to concentrate on session work and writing new music.
In 1994, Jason reunited with Ian Hatton and John Smithson from his former band, this time featuring new lead vocalist Marti Frederiksen. This new lineup was known as Motherland. They released one album titled Peace 4 Me.
Following the abortive Motherland project, drummer Jason Bonham put together the Jason Bonham Band, recruiting lead vocalist Chas West (Charles "Chas" West), guitarist Tony Catania, and bassist/keyboardist John Smithson. Their 1997 album When You See the Sun was produced by ex-Motherland lead vocalist Marti Frederiksen and finds Jason's aunt, Debbie Bonham, providing backing vocals on the track "Turning Back the Time".
