Jet Screamer

Critics on jetscreamer and 'starhead':



"This two-boy, one-girl trio play punk-greased blues pitched expertly between The Gun Club's gothic swamp-rock and Jon Spencer's priapic holler. Their fiery, roiling sound is complemented by an ear-catching variety of songs. When they end with the wholly unexpected yet aptly titled instrumental 'Bliss' - nearly 11 minutes of post-Sonic Youth drift and dissonance - it feels like jetscreamer can take you anywhere." Kerrang! - 4 "K"s



"It works brilliantly, the whole thing sounding like you're caught in the middle of a knife fight between Sonic Youth and some whiskey-addled bluesman. Seven-minute opener 'Front Porch' is the perfect battle cry, speed-thrill drums struggling to keep up once the guitars are unleashed. Elsewhere we get sprawling instrumental passages and blistering howls of pity. It's here we learn that jetscreamer really have got the blues. And they don't come much dirtier than this."

NME - 7 out of 10



"jetscreamer stir a righteous and fevered noise that draws on all-too-real ghosts and devils and nightmares, dancing into those fires with a beautiful, bloodied rock'n'roll. If you want to mambo while the whole shithouse goes up in flames, then this should be your soundtrack." Bang - 4 Stars



"Get ready for some rabble-rousing punk rock blues with more than a hint of rockabilly. Spewed out of Texas, this unruly racket is jam-packed with quick burning energy and passion."

Rock Sound - 7 out of 10



"This is a record where the guitars curl, shiver and shake like a strung-out Lightnin' Hopkins. while Will's vocals appear to have been beamed in directly from some Detroit speed-shooting gallery circa the dark and nasty end of 1968. If you've ever stood transfixed before the air-pummeling power of early My Bloody Valentine or felt Spacemen 3 in full flow, then you'll feel right at home." X-Ray (Feature)



"This Lone Star state three-piece strike rock'n'roll crude oil with their menacing visions. Their take-no-prisoners attack makes The White Stripes sound like The Carpenters." The Mirror - 3 Stars



"This Texan outfit combine a robust, punkabilly blues explosion with the drive of alt-rock bands such as Sonic Youth and My Bloody Valentine. It's dark, dirty and rather great."

The Independent - 4 Stars



"In the late 90's and 2000's, jetscreamer's forceful, Texas-fried blend of alternative rock and blues rock has inspired some unlikely, highly intriguing descriptions things like Sonic Youth meets John Lee Hooker meets My Bloody Valentine meets Stevie Ray Vaughn and Canned Heat, and Nirvana by way of Led Zeppelin and Lightnin' Hopkins So even though jetscreamer's sound is modern and contemporary by the alterna-rock standards of the 90's and early 2000's, their musical roots run deep" All Music Guide 4 Stars and an "AMG Pick"
