Vains of Jenna was a rock band formed in Falkenberg, Sweden, in January 2005. They later moved to Los Angeles, California, though most of the band members now reside back in Sweden. On January 26, 2012, the band confirmed on Facebook and MySpace that they had "mutually and amicably" decided to disband.

Vains of Jenna was formed by four young people from Sweden. At that time the two youngest members of the band were 18 years old. They were offered a chance to play at Crüe Fest Hollywood in January 2005. The band accepted and traveled to California for the show. Only one disc had been recorded at that time, a 4 song demo containing: "No One's Gonna Do It For You", "Hard To Be Vain", "Heartbreak Suicide" (the song that got them to Hollywood) and "A.S.A.D."

Vains of Jenna captured the attention of Stevie Rachelle, Tuff singer and the owner of hard rock website Metal Sludge during their first ever performance in America playing at the Whisky a Go Go in Hollywood during the charity event Crüe Fest Hollywood! Rachelle offered the band a demo deal and manager's contract 48 hours later. Rachelle booked the band to record at Redrum Studios with his friend former Guns N' Roses guitarist Gilby Clarke producing. The band had only been in Los Angeles for 1 week when all this took place.

After spending the winter in Sweden they toured the United Kingdom in the spring of 2006. The band lived in guitarist Nicki's Volvo station wagon for a month between playing gigs around London and surrounding cities. In May the group relocated to California. The band toured coast to coast and in many cases were not old enough to play bars they were booked in which had a minimum age of 21. This would sometimes leave half the band in the van outside, only to be let in to load up on stage, play and then leave at the end of their set. One of these such tours was when Rachelle flew the band to the East Coast in the summer of 2006 where they played 1st slot in support of UK band Teenage Casket Company and The Erotics from New York.
