Jet8 are energetic hardcore/punk-rock powerhouse with brass section from Prague (Czech Republic). Hardcore and metallic guitar riffs, powerful straightforward horns, catchy baselines, pounding drums and loud & angry vocals and screams. That’s what the Jet8 music is all about. Their lyrics usually reflects the present day social & political issues because they believe these need to be addressed. The band was founded in 2005 and released four LP albums (latest one being Chasing The High) and two EPs. Last piece is the split EP Hands OFF! released in 2021 and recorded in collaboration with their long-time friends, The Shifty Grifts. The new album will be released in April 2025, when Jet8 celebrate 20th anniversary.
The biggest influence on Jet8 comes from the contemporary hardcore/punk-rock scene, bands like Comeback Kid, Rise against or Strike Anywhere to name a few. Other major source of inspiration is UK progressive ska-core scene where the combination of hardcore/metallic riffs and massive horns is „no big deal“. Jet8 tour UK, Belgium, Switzerland, France, Germany and Spain on regular basis. They also played lots of international festivals such as Punk Rock Holiday, Manchester Punk Festival, Mighty Sounds and Rock for People. Among the bands they had a pleasure of playing with you can find likes of Jaya The Cat, Random Hand, Authority Zero, Get Dead, Faintest Idea, Total Chaos or even legendary Dog Eat Dog. Collaboration with DED’s singer John Connor resulted in the song called „Stay On Track“.
