Jenkins formed Only Living Witness with Eric Stevenson, of Formicide in 1989. The band performed in 14 countries including Sweden, England, France, Canada, Italy, Switzerland and the Czech Republic. When Only Living Witness split up in 1995, Jenkins went on to form two bands, Miltown and Milligram. Miltown was signed by Larry Jacobson to Irving Azoff's Giant Records, aka Revolution Records. Miltown recorded several demo tapes on their own with guitarist/producer Brian McTernan and guitarist Matt Squire, releasing a CDEP and two 7-inch vinyl records, and one album for Revolution Records, with producer Toby Wright which was never released, and the group subsequently split.
Jenkins then returned to work with Milligram, releasing two albums, Hello Motherfucker!, and This Is Class War on three different labels: Tortuga Recordings, Overcome Records, and Small Stone Records.
In 2001, Jenkins contributed lyrics and vocals for the song "Stockholm " on 5ive's Continuum Research Project's album The Telestic Disfracture, also on Tortuga Recordings.

In 2006, Jenkins sang on 36 Crazyfists's album, Rest Inside The Flames, on the track "We Cannot Deny". The same year he performed vocals on Converge's album, No Heroes for the track "Grim Heart/Black Rose".
