The escalating, and intoxicating sound of jets overhead is enough to draw anyone's attention. The ever so clever name of Victoria, BC band Jets Overhead sets the stage for how their music has a way of taking over a crowd. It controls its listeners in that the mix of experimental trance pulls you in and mesmerizes you. Jets Overhead was started in 2003 with the release of their full-length album, Bridges in 2006. The album is an astounding artistic development with everything about it pleasantly out of the ordinary. The unbelievably infectious instrumentals grab hold of you in the introduction to many of their songs. They aren't afraid to experiment with electronic sounds and harmonious lyrics. If you close your eyes and really listen you would swear you've been thrown back into the seventies. They definitely know a thing or two about music, and how to work together as a band. It is evident in their sound that they are in synch as a band. They work together as a team and with each element there it concocts a brilliant sound. Incessant melodies and instrumental movement applies such life to each and every piece of their work. The 5-piece band was nominated for The 2007 JUNO new group of the year and has since gone on to produce their second album due out later this summer.
