| JETSON | ||||
"Jetson are a gloriously rowdy speedball made from traces of Ash, Blur, Elastica and early sneering Manics, right down to the spray-on sloganeering and legs thrown apart from the sheer weight of their own enthusiasm. Where Jetson fly from here, is surely within their own control." The Fly Newcastle finest punked up pioneers Jetson, release their debut single "Social Hand Grenades' on TBA Records on Monday April 5th. Already being praised by the likes of Radio 1 and The Fly, Jetson's brand of fiery guitar work and live shows have gained them much attention from the media and A&R types alike. Jetson are: Ali (guitar/vocals), Bruce (bass), Dave (guitar) and Alex (drums). Since forming in 2002 it takes just 5 gigs before the band's reputation leap-frogs them over other, more established local bands, and into support slots with up and coming bands such as Easyworld, Simple Kid, The Parkinsons, Rueben and Hell Is For Heroes. And, a few old hands such as Tom Hingley, The Bluetones and Shed 7. The band's early demo found its way onto the Radio 1's OneMusic site, they immediately go straight to No.1 on the demo charts, and stay there for a month. Almost 5 weeks at number one, and eventually totalling 14 weeks in the top 40. They also get more than one spin on the Evening Sessions. They go on to become 1 of just 6 bands from the hundreds on the OneMusic site to be playlisted on Radio 1. Hardly surprising then, that a number of labels notice 'something brewing up north'. So much so that, regardless of the location, there's been an A&R presence at 22 of the last 30 gigs. |
