Jet

The Profile

Jet are an Australian rock band from Melbourne, frequently described in the reviews as a garage/classic-rock revival act drawing on late-60s and 70s influences.

From the reviews: the band is presented as a four-piece from Melbourne featuring brothers Nic and Chris Cester, alongside Cam Muncey and Mark Wilson; they debuted with the album Get Born (2003). Their sound is repeatedly compared to or linked with influences such as the Beatles, Rolling Stones, the Who, Oasis, and AC/DC.

Across these reviews, Jet are framed as a Melbourne-based classic-rock revival band built on big riffs, sticky choruses, and obvious 60s/70s influences. Get Born is praised as immediate and fun by some, but slammed by others as predictable recycling. Shine On is the most divisive: called a mature, ballad-heavier step by some and a drop into “flatness” by others. Rare Tracks is treated as an extras collection with notable demos/covers. Shaka Rock is heard as decent, AC/DC/Stones-leaning rock’n’roll with uneven songwriting.
