Jailhouse is an American glam metal band from Los Angeles. Formed in 1987, they released a live EP, Alive in a Mad World, on Restless Records in 1989, and their debut full-length album, Jailhouse, in 1998. The band never achieved mainstream recognition compared to many other glam metal bands. However, the members subsequently gained fame in other acts, such as Simon Daniels with Autograph, Amir Derakh with Dead by Sunrise, Julien-K and Chester Bennington, Michael Raphael with Neve, and Matt Thorr with Stephen Pearcy and Tuff.

Jailhouse’s latest lineup, featured four of the five original members, performing at the 2013 Monsters of Rock Cruise, included vocalist Simon Daniels, drummer Dave Alford, guitarist Michael Raphael, bassist Matt Thorr.
