[1][2] By 1993 Joe was living in Dallas, Texas and working at Guitar Center where he made connections with other local musicians and formed the band Jibe in early 1994.

Over the course of the next nine years, Jibe would issue three studio albums, and play over 2,500 concerts across the United States, sharing the stage with many of the top rock bands of the day.

[5][6][7][8][9][10] Following the breakup of Jibe in 2004, Joe moved to Los Angeles and formed the band Loser with current Mötley Crüe guitarist John 5.

From 2008 to 2010 Grah fronted the band South of Earth which included guitarist Geno Lenardo (Filter), bassist Bill Gower (Boy Hits Car), and drummer Joe Babiak (Kill Hannah).

[13] In 2012 Joe began recording and self-producing home demos for an electronic rock solo project he called Dead Girls Don't Lie, and released several online singles from 2013 to 2015.

He assembled a live backing band and for the next two years performed locally in Los Angeles, including a show at The Roxy Theater, and a set at the Day of the Dead Festival in 2014.

He self-produced the recordings, working with mixer Evan Rodinache (Flyleaf, Escape the Fate, Powerman 5000) and Grammy Award winning mastering engineer Bill Hare.

In 2024, Joe officially joined forces with his long-time friend and collaborator Gemini Syndrome guitarist Charles Lee Salvaggio, who has also previously played bass in Filter and Theory Of A Deadman, to form the hard rock group Inside The Trojan Horse.

With Charles on bass and guitar, along with Red Sun Rising and The Violent drummer Pat Gerasia, the band recorded an entire album of material.
