Threatin is an American rock band from Los Angeles. Founded by Jered Threatin, real name Jered Eames,[4] the band gained notoriety in November 2018 for a European tour in which it played to mostly empty venues. Threatin has been labelled a "fake band" by the music press and described as a vanity project of its founder.[5][6][7][8][9] Rolling Stone also referred to Threatin as a "great heavy metal hoax".[10]
