Nine months ago hardly anyone had heard of Jet. Now everyone, including the Americans, are all over them, and their debut single and mobile phone / MP3 TV advert theme tune is being re-released. Here's what we said at the time - weren't we prophetic?
Jet are an Australian band who
are about to release an extremely good, Radio 1-friendly single, which is almost perfect for our
Detroit-drenched musical times.
On first listen you will hear
the bass line from Lust For Life and this will slowly
gather some of Keith Richard's guitar. Nic Cester's voice is strong, well-crafted and very
familiar.
The levels are spot on and the
lyrics, like the sound, are born in the '70s music
scene: "Big black boots/Long brown hair/She's so
sweet/With her death black stare." You'll be hearing a lot more of this band in the future.
