Biography

Jet is an Australian rock band formed in 2001. The members are brothers Nic Cester and Chris Cester, Cameron Muncey and Mark Wilson. Their initial interest in music came from a love of classic rock from the 60s and 70s including The Who, The Rolling Stones and AC/DC, in fact they derived their name from the Wings song of the same name.

Their first release was in 2002 with the Dirty Sweet EP which… Read more in Amazon's Jet Store

5.0 out of 5 stars Is it 1969?, October 16, 2004
By 
This review is from: Get Born (Audio CD)
Australian group Jet lived up to their name when they sonically swooped onto the music scene with their first full-length CD - "Get Born." The lead-off single - Are You Gonna Be My Girl? - is simply one of the most compelling rock songs in recent memory. Yes, it's highly derivative of earlier rock music, but it's brilliant. How many TV shows, movies, and products immediately used the song in ads? Sure, it burned out from overexposure pretty quickly, but fortunately the CD is filled with equally gripping rock.

The band deftly combines elements of 60s and 70s rock (especially the Stones and the Who) but adds touches of more recent rock for a fresh sound. For example, "Rollover D.J." is reminiscent of Oasis. "Move On" is a mid-tempo song that incorporates an alt-country sound, a la Wilco. "Timothy" is an interesting ballad with lyrics that could have been written by David Bowie during his Ziggy Stardust period. "Radio Song" has some nice prog-rock touches that wouldn't sound out of place on an early Radiohead CD. "Lazy Gun" is conceivably the pinnacle of the CD, as it changes tempo and style, weaving all over the place; it also, perhaps tellingly, sounds the least like anybody else. The lyrics, though, seem to sum up Jet's philosophy - Change nothing/ Futures in/ Close the door/ Wear a name/ Be the same/ Take some more.

Jet puts everything together so well that it's almost impossible to dislike this CD. Plus, let's face it, the artists they rip off are by and large past their prime - either disbanded or making musty music. Judged on its own merits, "Get Born" is an exceedingly strong rock record. Of course, Jet now faces the tremendous challenge of following up this CD and standing apart from the other raft of similar retro-rockers, including the Strokes, the Hives, and the Vines. Only time will tell whether the band will establish its own identity or become stale. In the meantime, this CD is highly recommended.

3.0 out of 5 stars Jet "Get Born", March 20, 2004
By 
Aaron L. (Rome, New York United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Get Born (Audio CD)
"Last Chance" (3/5): A decent song, not a great opener though.
"Are You Gonna Be My Girl?" (5/5): The lead single, a great tune that you can't help but sing along to.
"Rollover D.J." (4/5): This song always makes me wanna move.
"Look What You've Done" (4/5): A great ballad.
"Get What You Need" (3/5): An average song, but nothing more.
"Move On" (3/5): A good ballad, kinda Pink Floyd-ish.
"Radio Song" (3/5): Not a bad tune, just not great.
"Get Me Outta Here" (4/5): This up-tempo track is a winner.
"Cold Hard B***h" (4/5): The second single that should prove that the band isn't a one hit wonder.
"Come Around Again" (4/5): Another killer ballad.
"Take It Or Leave It" (4/5): Yet again, Jet proves they're the kings of the fast paced tracks.
"Lazy Gun" (3/5): A decent song, but nothing memorable.
"Timothy" (3/5): A less than thrilling conclusion to a thrilling album.

"Get Born", the debut from Aussie rockers Jet is music to my ears. Though some of the ballads can become tiresome, every fast paced song on this record is a winner. Definately worth checking out, especially if you're into the garage rock scene.

Rating: Three and a half stars.

4.0 out of 5 stars Get Rock, October 17, 2003
This review is from: Get Born (Audio CD)
Well, as it has been said in many reviews, there's nothing new here. So what. Jet draw upon and nick everything that's good about rock-n-roll. A bit of swagger there, a pinch of drunken chaos here. Couple that kind of stuff with a simple back to basics rock record and you get music that will definitely please the rocker within. Get Born is a great debut. A debut that is basically a hybrid of ACDC, a little Oasis, and a lot of "Taken Care Of Business" (Rollover DJ). Some might see this as unoriginal and predictable. Again, it IS all this, and that my friends, is a good thing in this day and age.

Lots of high-marks throughout the records' 13 tracks. Are You Gonna Be My Girl and Rollover DJ are really great, fast paced stompin' singles. I also really like Take It Or Leave It, and Cold Hard B...., another couple of raw energy rockers that please the 70's rock soul. My only complaint is that those, with another 2 tunes from Get Born, have been included from the Dirty Sweet EP. (I always like EP's to have something not found on the full lengths) Anyway this is a great rock record. Don't expect it change your life, but do expect it to get you moving.
