MusicJournoThe Screaming Jets ROCK regional Queensland
March 2nd 2008 10:11
The Screaming Jets are synonymous with Australian rock! Few bands embody that true spirit of the Aussie rock industry, the hardworking exterior, the honest rockin’ core, the dedication to their musical craft against all adversity and the sheer determination not to buckle or give in. Bands come and go, many folding to the commercial manufactured directive of the industry – losing fans and respect along the way – but not the Jets – they’ve fought, they’ve conquered, and through it all, they’ve stayed true to their music. This is why as a band that smashed their way onto the music scene in the early 1990s they’ve still got a core of fans who would do anything for them, and the respect of some of the biggest names in the rock industry today.
Rockin’ a string of tour dates through regional Queensland, The Screaming Jets are continuing to take their music back to their fans. And this tour in itself is a special one – it marks the start of something new, it’ll be the last run before the guys finalise their new album and get it out on the streets. The highly anticipated, as yet untitled, release is destined to reignite another surge of Jets-frenzy and is, without doubt, one of their best albums yet. Tight, clean and with the strong basis of driving guitars that The Screaming Jets own brand of rock has become known for, it shows another side of the band. They’re not just a phenomenal act on stage, but their skill as songwriters is impressive and relatively unmatched in the rock industry today. Their first full-length studio album since ‘Scam’ in 2000, this record is set to put The Screaming Jets back in the spotlight – and will no doubt garner them a whole new generation of fans who have been missing out on the true rock experience.
Although there was a definite hiatus between records, The Screaming Jets haven’t been resting on their laurels, they’ve been hitting the road hard and touring their butts off around the country. This year alone they’ve already spent more time on the road than off, and have recently just returned from the historic concert of the unveiling of the Bon Scott statue in Perth. Only the premier rock acts in the country were invited to be part of the prestigious event, and it was inevitable The Screaming Jets would be part of the all-star line-up. Now they’re back touring the breadth of Australia, making sure fans get the real live music experience – rock on.

I love the Jets. And while they are loved, they are without doubt, very unappreciated.
I was lucky enough to interview then about a year ago, and they were hands down the coolest guys I've interviewed in the world.
Hope their album sells.
