Flotsam and Jetsam is a thrash metal band that formed in Phoenix, Arizona in 1981.
The group was founded in 1981 under the name “Paradox” by drummer Kelly David-Smith and guitarists Mark Vazquez and Kevin Horton, who were later joined by bassist Jason Newsted. Jason had come to Phoenix with his band Gangster from Michigan on their way to California, but Gangster broke up while in Phoenix. Kelly and Jason (also doing the vocals) played their first professional gig as “Dredlox” together with guitarists Mark and Kevin.
