Jet - Get Born
Written by Nicholas Jennings    PDF Print E-mail

Jet - Get BornUnabashed retro rockers from Down Under are nothing new—in fact, this four-piece from Melbourne shares management with Sydney’s Vines, last year’s buzz band. Where the Vines pay homage to Nirvana, the boys in Jet are steeped mostly in vintage Rolling Stones on ballsy rockers like “Last Chance” and “Rollover DJ.” Even ballads like “Move On” have a Stones-y, “Wild Horses” ring to them. Add hints of AC/DC and Oasis (on “Look What You’ve Done”) and you’ve got an exuberant, if backward-glancing, debut.
