Musical history

I Killed the Prom Queen:(2000–2007, 2008, 2011–Present)

Weinhofen formed metalcore band I Killed the Prom Queen in Adelaide, alongside drummer JJ Peters.[3] The band released two LPs, one EP, a split EP, a demo and a live CD/DVD before splitting in 2007, with Weinhofen acting as manager from 2004 to 2007. They briefly reunited in 2008 for the "Say Goodbye" Tour. The group reunited again in 2011 to play on the Destroy The Music Tour.

Bleeding Through (2007–2009)

After the departure of vocalist Ed Butcher from I Killed the Prom Queen, Weinhofen was invited to join American band Bleeding Through after the departure of Scott Danough and played on their release Declaration and can be seen in their videos for Death Anxiety and Germany.[4] He left midway through 2009 partly due to homesickness and discontent with living in America.

Bring Me the Horizon (2009–Present)

Weinhofen replaced Curtis Ward in British band Bring Me the Horizon in March 2009. He was featured in the music video for "The Sadness Will Never End", which was released following the departure of Ward, and recorded with the group on their album There Is a Hell, Believe Me I've Seen It. There Is a Heaven, Let's Keep It a Secret.

Other work

Jona has worked with Geelong death metal outfit The Red Shore in an advisory/managerial capacity.[5] The former lead singer/bassist of The Red Shore, Jamie Hope, has since joined I Killed the Prom Queen.
