Power Pop/Mod Pop : The Jetz - Cracked Up (2015 Queen Mum Records)

 

Featuring the first all-new recordings from the band since their recent reformation, this is an album that sounds remarkably vital, living-up to the reputation of their legendary 1977 single ‘Catch Me’ and almost bursting at the seams with great pop-tunes. With all five original members still onboard, their mix of Glam, powerpop and spikey energy is still intact, along with catchy lyrics that relate various tales of everyday life with great singalong choruses.

The 70s

The whole album has a real vibrancy and sounds as if they were thoroughly  enjoying themselves as they made it. The best comparison I can make is with the early Carpettes records, although there are plenty of other references you could make… (early) Beatles, Eddie & The Hot Rods, ‘Shake Some Action’… If only there was a radio station that would broadcast music like this to a wide audience, I’m sure that a lot of people would love it. But lacking that kind of ideal situation, just take note and make sure you hear this album. Play it loud and get into it… There’s nothing about it you won’t enjoy ! (fearandloathingfanzine.com)

A great power pop, mod pop album. There is nothing more to add. Recommendable. Enjoy. (Frank)
