Biography

Get Born channelled 70s crunch for a 2000s market hungry for guitar anthems post-garage revival.

Nic and Chris Cester plus Cameron Muncey stacked hooks tight enough for car commercials and festivals alike.

Later albums experimented with texture while keeping singalong choruses central.

Remastered streams expose tube warmth, ride cymbal wash, and vocal double impacts.

Jet were brothers Nic and Chris Cester with Cameron Muncey and Mark Wilson, and the Melbourne band played a stripped-down brand of rock and roll indebted to the Stones, Small Faces, and AC/DC. Are You Gonna Be My Girl, used in an iPod commercial, was an international hit.

Get Born (2003) was followed by Shine On (2006) and Shaka Rock (2009). Look What You’ve Done, from the debut, showed they could write a slow song as well.
