Biography

The band Jet stems from the suburbs of Melbourne, Australia. The group consists of Nic Cester (guitar, vocals), Chris Cester (drums, vocals), Cam Muncey (guitar, vocals), and Mark Wilson (bass). Nic and Chris are brothers. Nic is three years older than Chris. Whiel growing up, both brothers hated Grunge music. They felt it was overly depressing, and they vowed to make music than was more related to the roots of Rock N’ Roll. After the group formed, Jet immediately began touring throughout Australia. They soon released a debut EP entitled The Dirty Sweet. At first, the group released 1,000 EPs only in Australia. It soon sold-out. They then released 1,000 more with the same outcome. Jet then signed to Elektra Records.

Jet’s debut album, Get born, was released on October 7, 2003. The album, which was recorded at LA’ Sunset Studios, was produced by Dave Sardy (Marilyn Manson, The Dandy Warhols). Two tracks from the album that have been critically acclaimed are: “Get What You need” and “Get me Out of Here.” The single, “Are You Gonna Be My Girl” was on the Billboard Charts in December 2003 and continues to receive attention from MTV and MTV2.

The band members wanted the band to be upbeat. Chris Cester stated: “I like the idea of Get Born having two meanings. Like ‘Rubber Soul.’ It’s basically a reminder to forget your problems and celebrate the moment instead. It’s a rejection of all those feelings of negativity or depression you might get. It’s a heartfelt thing, and that’s where the primal energy comes through the music.”

At every concert, Jet does a cover of the Elvis Presley hit, “That’s Alright Mamma.” Recently, Jet was also picked by the Rolling Stones to open on their Australian tour. Jet’s influences are The Kinks, Oasis, and AcC/DC.

Can't stand either of them they both suck.	L1th1um
everything by jet is awesome.. but cold hard bitch would have to be my favorite.. its just addicting i guess	yellow_my_card
r u gunna suk my cock? whats with the slang and the abbreveations!	rancidfreak99
L1th1ium, please tell me why Jet suck. Is it because they hate Nirvana?	Bulldog
I like "Are You Gonna Be My Girl?" better...even though "Cold Hard Bitch" is good...	BillieJoeKing1039
i like are you gonna be my girl better but Jet wants to be ac/dc so bad. its very obvious	THE_DROOGIE
L1th1ium, please tell me why Jet suck. Is it because they hate Nirvana? No I actually had no idea they hated Nirvana. Even if I did I would never be that biased and childish. Anywho I hate Jet because they're lyrics are kind of uncreative and their singer annoys me. The music just isn't for me.	L1th1um
fair enough. i like them both anyway, tho nirvana are way overrated.	Bulldog
no fucking way Nirvana is overrated, they are one of the best and most important bands ever. They made real rock popular again and they killed off that shitty hair metal. If anything Jet is overrated, they're not that talented and they just rip-off of ac/dc.	THE_DROOGIE
I agree. All the credit Nirvana get, they deserve. C'mon they practically started the grunge movement.	L1th1um
Not having a proper bassist doesn't effect the fact that Lars only had two toms on his drum set and the drum set sounded like trash cans anyway. Didn't affect that Kirk didn't bother with a single solo throughout. Didn't affect the fact that James singing and song writing skills we're sub par at best. The bass may have improved but the rest of the album would have sucked regardless.	L1th1um
How the fuck did that get hear? I posted on the Metallica board......	L1th1um
i cant choose beteen the two songs.	whoamiagain
i didnt say nirvana were bad....just a bit overrated. then again, i s'pose jet are.	Bulldog
I never even implyed (sp) you thought they we're bad. I just said they get the credit they deserve. And yes Jet is overrated.	L1th1um
fair enough. im sorry...	Bulldog
dats a hard one i love all there songs r u ganna b my gurl rockz n cold heart itch is really good as well! umm i wood say cold heart bitch!!!	jessie_lovez_shannon
I love Jet!! Look what you´ve done is my favorite song...	Frusciante_
Cold Hard Bitch is much better than "Are you gonna be my girl"	Beto589
everyhting thst Jet does is freaking awesome so i really cant choose	reina12
i like jet. one of the few new bands i like. i like them cause they have an ACDC/Aerosmith vibe about them. one of the few bands that actually plays music nowadays. them and darkness r realy the only bands nowadays that i can think of. as far as them hating nirvana, i dont really care about that, cause kurt was a good song riter, but he ended the hair metal era, so im 50/50 on nirvana. plus they spawned a bunch of crappy bands who try to imitate them.	motleycrue085
Jet are awful.	BLASTT
cold hard bitch is better	who_cares
