Story of Jet

Jet: A Rock 'n' Roll Story

Hailing from the land down under, Jet stormed onto the global rock scene in 2001, armed with a raw, energetic sound and a knack for crafting catchy tunes. The core of the band was forged by the Cester brothers - Nic, the charismatic frontman with a voice that could melt asphalt, and Chris, the driving force behind the drums. They were joined by the melodically gifted Cameron Muncey on lead guitar, and later, the solid bass foundation of Mark Wilson.

Jet's debut album, "Get Born," was a roaring success, hitting number one in their home country and making significant waves in the UK and US. The album's lead single, "Are You Gonna Be My Girl," became an anthem, its infectious energy and singalong chorus resonating with audiences worldwide. "Look What You've Done," "Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is," and "She's a Genius" further cemented Jet's place as a force to be reckoned with.

Their subsequent albums, "Shine On" and "Shaka Rock," continued to dominate the Australian charts, showcasing the band's musical evolution while retaining their signature rock spirit.

Jet's impact was not just limited to their music. They were crowned "Album of the Year" and "Best Group" at the 2004 ARIA Music Awards, a testament to their overwhelming success. "Are You Gonna Be My Girl" was also recognized as "Most Performed Australian Work Overseas" by APRA for three consecutive years.

Despite their disbandment in 2012, the spirit of Jet lived on. Their reunion in 2016, though short-lived, showed their enduring appeal. In 2023, they reunited again, a testament to the enduring power of their music. This time, they were also inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame, a fitting recognition of their status as one of Australia's most influential rock bands.

Jet's story is one of passion, talent, and a fierce dedication to rock 'n' roll. Their legacy continues to inspire, reminding us that the power of a good riff and a driving beat can transcend time and borders.
