Currently in the midst of a sold-out tour of Australia, the return of JET intensifies with the confirmation of a UK and European tour. The news comes at a time of rebirth for the band. After being inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame last year, they have just released their new single “Hurry Hurry” and are working on their awaited fourth albumwhich is scheduled for release in 2025.
The new single “Hurry Hurry” is currently only available on 7″ vinyl, with very limited supplies on their official website. The b-side, “An adventure”, is in fact a cover of a cover: a rock 'n' soul interpretation by Wilson Pickett of a song originally from Lucio Battisti. Nic performs vocals in both English and Italian, paying homage to his time in Italy over the past 15 years. Both songs will be available on streaming platforms in the near future.
THE JET they achieved phenomenal success in their first incarnation, with their 2003 debut album “Get Born” which topped charts around the world and achieved more than 6 million sales, including Platinum status in the UK on sales of over 300,000. Two more hit albums followed with “Shine On” (2006) and “Shaka Rock” (2009), while their catalog of hits – “Are You Gonna Be My Girl,” “Look What You've Done,” Cold Hard Bitch”, “Hold On”, “She's A Genius” and many others – continues to gain new fans years later. The band has 6 million monthly listeners on Spotify – a remarkable figure for a group whose last album was released before the platform's global launch.
Jet achieved international popularity in the early 2000s, a time when the band's mix of Exile on Main St. swagger and brash stomp style was a perfect fit for the American garage rock revival. Hailing from Melbourne and made up of guitarist Cameron Muncey, drummer Chris Cester, bassist Mark Wilson and frontman, the quartet was formed right at the start of the new millennium. In 2002 they released Dirty Sweet, a vinyl-only EP which proved very popular in Australia. The EP sold out its initial run of 1,000 copies, and Jet's acclaim grew in the UK, where they released another limited edition. In early 2003 a deal with America emerged and the Dirty Sweet EP was released domestically in May of that year. An opening at home for Jet quickly follows. With a buzz for the band's skuzzy, old-school hard rock, Jet's studio debut arrives in November under the title Get Born.
With its sizzling guitars and fast-paced beat, “Are You Gonna Be My Girl?” has become a radio favorite around the world and Get Born has sold over three million copies. Jet also received seven ARIA (Australian Record Industry Association) nominations, six of which were awarded to the band. In the summer of 2005 some European dates followed and in the autumn of 2006 the second work Shine On arrived. The group maintained a constant rhythm of touring and contributed a song to the soundtrack of Spider-Man 3. After a short break , Jet reunited in 2008 to begin work on their third album, which arrived a year later under the title Shaka Rock. They toured as support for and , but stopped playing in 2010 and disbanded completely in 2012. After several years, however, Jet was back in business, performing as headliners in Australia in early 2017.
