Jet Fuel
Like snorting a line of Pepsi & Morphine thru the middle of an old 45, JET FUEL give ya everything you know you like & everything you think you’re too kool to dig at the same time. This is straight retro music while stayin’ so on the next flight to the end of tomorrow. If ya wanna lock it into a genre, it’s gonna be HEAVY. But not only in the METAL sense. It’s the same HEAVY you felt when you saw James Cagney on top the world in “White Heat” as well as how you felt when it slipped in the first time. We could just list all the records we bought & books we read, but there shouldn’t be a need if you actually hear our record. It’s plain as day, no need to front like it’s some genius concoction.
Not content to just match the bar set by today’s lackluster pop scene, JET FUEL got in at the start of the New Wave of Los Angeles Heavy Metal movement. First by forming the band & followed by a record label (BLACK TOP FADE RECORDS). Keeping in line with a strong anti-establishment ethic (as well as a distrust/disinterest in The Man), they decided to put on their own shows. Ranging from “club” nites at local bars to warehouse parties numbering in the thousands for attendance (no easy feat in scenester obsessed Hollywood).
It won’t be too hard to keep an eye on JET FUEL. It started being exclusive, but growing legions have forced inclusivity.
“Jet Fuel are a bunch of cats from here in L.A. and they kick some bass-heavy groove jams. A little Sabbath, a little Hawkwind, a little of the Who, definitely a early 70’s vibe. Good production, good times. Can’t wait to hear more from this band. " — Buddyhead.com
" ‘On Through The Night’ era Def Leppard tumbles headlong with vintage U.K. rockers Stray for some high energy metal n’ roll. Current purveyors of the New Wave of Los Angeles Heavy Metal." - Hellride Music
" Jet Fuel’s super catchy bubblegum pop melodies bottoming-out with low-slung basslines and wonderfully tacky waltzing power ballads would have been classics in 1974. So what if it’s 30 years too late? " — Aquarius Records
