an Australian rock band that tries to model bands from the 60's and 70's "glory days" of rock music. The members are Nic Cester (lead singer and guitarist), Cameron Muncey (lead guitarist and occasional vocals), Chris Cester (drums and backing vocals), and Mark Wilson (bass and occasionly harmonica). They like to use classic blues, hard rock, and other rock riffs, which have been used by other popular bands. People have considered this stealing, which really overall depends how you look at it: many bands have done the same (using riffs and licks pioneered by other bands) yet other bands feel they should stay totally original, which is also fine.
Their debut album, Get Born, released in 2003 and consists of 13 songs w/ hit singles such as Are You Gonna Be My Girl, Cold Hard B****, Rollover DJ, etc. Their second album, Shine On, did not do as well as they hoped, because this album was darker, seeing as how Nic and Chris Cester's father had died in 2004. Still, they've had singles from that album, such as Rip It Up, Shine On, and Hey Kids. Their most recent album, Shaka Rock, their third "official" cd, was released in 2009. The current singles so far that have come from the album are She's A Genius, Black Hearts, and Seventeen.

Overall, I think JET is a very good band that is worth listenning to (if you like their style). If you actually listen to them and stop whinning about how they supposedly "ripped-off" a Beatles song (Sexy Sadie), then you'd actually be able to hear their songwriting and talent.
Guy1: Who the heck is JET????????
Guy2: They're from Melbourn, Australia.
