Jet - Shine OnThey’ve shared stages and producers with Oasis, so it’s not surprising that Jet’s Nic and Chris Cester have a few things in common with the Gallagher brothers—like booze-soaked nights and fookin’ big rock anthems. “Stand Up” is the Aussie band’s latest stadium-sized monster destined to get cell phones a-flashing. But Jet’s sophomore album also has unexpected delights, including the harmony-filled gem “Eleanor,” the string-laden “Bring It On Back” and the stirring title track, a tribute to the Cesters’ late father.
