Editor's note

Jet's garage-rock punch and quieter moments

The Australian band behind "Are You Gonna Be My Girl?" and the album Get Born.

For the full picture, listen to "Are You Gonna Be My Girl?" back-to-back with "Look What You've Done." That's the band in two songs.

Jet's 2003 single "Are You Gonna Be My Girl?" became an international rock radio staple almost overnight. Their debut album Get Born delivered more than just that garage-rock energy though, with songs like "Look What You've Done" showing they could write a slower, piano-driven tune too. Tracks like "Rollover D.J." and "Shine On" have held up as straightforward, guitar-driven rock from that era.

The Melbourne band formed in 2001 around brothers Chris and Cameron Cester. After the success of Get Born and a follow-up album called Shaka Rock, internal tension and struggles with addiction led to a breakup in 2012. They've reunited for shows occasionally since, but haven't released new studio material as Jet for over a decade.

Archive material and source history

Jet formed in Melbourne in 2001 around brothers Chris and Cameron Cester, with Mark Wilson on bass and Dave Bidini on drums. Their 2003 single "Are You Gonna Be My Girl?" became an international hit, followed by the successful debut album "Get Born." Songs like "Look What You've Done" and "Rollover D.J." showed their range beyond the garage-rock energy of that first record.

They released another album called "Shaka Rock" in 2009. The band's story includes periods of internal tension and struggles with addiction, which eventually led to a breakup in 2012. They've reunited for shows occasionally since then, but haven't released new studio material as Jet for over a decade.

Their music, particularly from that first album, still gets regular play on rock radio. Tracks like "Shine On" and "Kings Horses" have held up as straightforward, guitar-driven rock songs from that era.
