Jet Release New Album

• 24th Aug 2009

Jet, the Australian rockers, will release their third studio album Shaka Rock on their newly created Real Horrorshow Records/Five Seven Music.

Shaka Rock was recorded between Miami, Brooklyn, Austin, Sydney and Melbourne, with the band working side by side as co-producers with Chris 'Frenchie' Smith to create what Nic Cester calls the band’s 'most honest so far.' In its first weeks,'She’s A Genius,' the first single off of the highly anticipated album is the #1 most added rock song in Australia, the top 5 most added in the US and the #1 most added rock song in Canada. It has already charted in the US at multiple formats.

Chris Cester says, 'I can say that the band is thrilled with Shaka Rock in every conceivable way. We've had a don't think twice attitude throughout the making of this record which continues as we get ready to release it. I think Shaka Rock is like when TV went colour. It’s our musical equivalent. There are moments on this record that are just pure,and moments that just rock harder than we ever have before.'

'She's A Genius' will be premiering on BBC Radio 1 with Zane Lowe on 7th July and will be available both digitally and physically from 24th August.

Jet have announced a series of intimate performances in North America to support the new single and album through July, and will be touring the UK in September, further details to be announced.
