Jet Pilot are a three piece electronic-hardcore
band from Germany, they are influenced by many different
bands from many different genres hence the reason
why they have such a mixed sound. The weird thing
about these guys is that they are attempting to
do hardcore music without the guitars, instead they
have two bass players, two vocalists, one drummer
and a keyboardist, yeah I did say they are a three
piece band and all the instruments I have listed
makes them sound like they have something like 6
members, but this isn’t the case as they take
on a few instruments each well apart from the drummer
of course.
Now Jet Pilot have a sound that I like but at
the same time I don’t like, they are a cross
between the electronics of Mindless Self Indulgence
and My Passion and the vocals of The Blood Brothers,
all bands that I really enjoy, but the mixture
together is a bit too much on some songs here,
it’s like they have crammed in as much explosive
sound as possible which to me is instant headache
material, I am really open minded when it comes
to music and I like a wide variety of bands but
Jet Pilot are a band that I dislike more than
I like.
Their new album 'Yeah, We Do Dance To Architecture!',
is 15 tracks long and sounds like a wide mixture
of things that I have heard before but mixed together
for an all over hectic sound, now to start with,
it is quite pleasing on the ear, it’s good
to hear the crazy mixture of synths and strong
screaming Johnny Whitney style vocals but by the
time the heavy distortion of the outro of the
first song kicks in you realise this could be
a long ride and that it is, all the songs on the
album sound quite samey, you could go away make
a coffee come back 10 minutes later and still
think you are listening to the same song, but
don’t get me wrong there are some enjoyable
moments, it’s just a massive chore trying
to find them.
I am sure some fans of Mindless Self Indulgence,
My Passion and The Blood Brothers will find this
album quite enjoyable but at the same time a lot
of people will think that Jet Pilot are ripping
off everything these bands have achieved and it
could well turn into a heated debate as Jet Pilot
formed back in 2003, which is well before any
of these bands become super big.
2/5
