June 20, 2008	Welcome to thejetage.net. Our Story Thus Far: [A] heart-pounding rocker … all of the riffs are stellar. Pitchfork (8.0) The Jet Age are an incredible power trio who play with the same kind of revolutionary angst that made bands like The Replacements and The Wipers so powerful in their day. The Run-Off Groove Compelling in its convictions and streamlined in its storytelling, What Did You Do is just the sort of album Ted Leo ought to be making. Pitchfork (Forkcast) The Jet Age's latest effort integrates the grandeur and cohesion of the classic rock concept album … with politically charged tunes … deep personal anthems … and vivid songwriting. Spin (Artist of the Day) [T]he band is spot on when it comes to delectable power pop that has scads of guitar-driven rock riffs embedded deep within it… The consistency here is what makes The Jet Age soar. PopMatters Churning up the sophisticated punk of The Minutemen and Husker Du, the slacker cool of Dinosaur Jr, the sweaty R&B of The Who and the shoegazing guitar dynamics of Swervedriver, the Jet Age produce a powerful concoction that'll fracture your eardrums and help in the campaign to rehabilitate the concept album to it's rightful place in the musical pantheon. The Devil Has the Best Tuna The rumblings from each beat and circling strings are belligerently brilliant. Pensatos (interview here)

November 7, 2007	ERIC sez: "For those of you who came here as a result of my review of the API a2d in the new TapeOp, be advised that the current clips were recorded before I got said unit. Check back in January (maybe December) for clips from our forthcoming record, 'What Did You Do During the War, Daddy?'; those songs will have been mixed via the a2d. Thanks!"

November 18, 2007	WE HAVE BEEN VERY BUSY RECORDING OUR SECOND ALBUM, which will be out in early '08; look for new shows in the next couple of months. Meanwhile we would like to thank our fans (old and recently won) for coming to our shows at IOTA, Quarry House and DC9. We would also like to thank the latest spate of kindhearted writers who have said nice things about us; you can read their work here.
