JETS TO BRAZIL

“There is something epic -- and very powerful -- about these long songs full of rumbling, subterranean, slightly ominous bass and squalling, not-quite-clean guitars topped with atmospheric keyboards and occasional strings.”epitonic.com

Being dubbed an all-star supergroup before you've even played a show is a burden that no band should have to carry. Fewer bands, however, have carried it better than the New York-based Jets to Brazil who have somehow managed to both shrug off the pressure with an indifferent sway and surpass the marks set by their alma maters.

Practically formed by accident, Jets to Brazil came together when frontman Blake Schwarzenbach wound up in Brooklyn following the disappointing breakup of Jawbreaker and reconnected with a friend he met at the band's last show. That friend, Jeremy Chatelain, was in the middle of a dissolving band himself as Handsome - the group he fronted for two years - found themselves at the end of a winding path that no one could retrace. After months of four-tracking with drum machines, the duo asked Chris Daly - by then a free agent following the demise of Texas is the Reason - to join the group on drums. (thx to jadetree.com)
