Search - Jet By Day :: The Feedback That Distracts Us

"From the first notes of the opening song on The Feedback that Distracts Us, I knew I was going to like this album. I'm all for pop, I'm all for pretty music, and I'm all for lovely song structures. But Jet By Day isn't really about those things. Jet By Day, an Atlanta area band, is about intensity and urgency that's as evident on their quieter moments as their loudest. That's quite a feat, frankly, and this band shows their maturity (they've been playing together for over five years) in pulling it off. Bob Weston brings out every bit of this band's talent on their stellar debut full-length. The guitars rip away with emphatic riffs that sound like they're taken from your favorite hardcore band and slowed down. The vocals are shouted and sung, mostly the former, with a kind of raw passion, and the rhythm chugs away with a stellar intricacy. What really sets this band apart is the fact that they never beat you over the head with power or noise, more content to focus on tight riffs, wild vocals, and an urgency pounded out of their instruments at a pace that feels like it should erupt into mayhem but never does over the course of five or six minutes." - delusions of adequacy - www.adequacy.net
