JET MARKET

Jet Market start in Rome in 1998. It's high school years and the four friends enjoy playing together Green Day and NOFX songs in school's rehearsal room. In 1999 the first demo recordings of the band begins, along with the very first line up changes. The following year sees the making of a ska-punk demo and the beginning of the band's live activity in their hometown. In 2001 things change, the band's sound turns into something different, identifiable in mid 90's californian or swedish melodic hardcore (skatepunk). They record a new demo called "7 songs" giving away around 600 free copies of it at italian shows and festivals. This move helps the four in being known also outside their hometown, collecting lots of contacts for shows in Italy. 2002 is the year of "Everyday Casualties", the first D.I.Y. full length by Jet Market. Many shows in Rome and Italy follow it. One year later the band is in studio again to record "Freedom Slaves", a six songs EP that reveals a clear placement in a genre that embraces a lot of bands.The new EP, in fact, contains technical and fast songs and a sound that will follow the band for most of the years to come. In this album the political approach gets more intense and in the six tracks you can clearly sense new hardcore and metal influences. For the very first time a Jet Market album comes out on a label, thanks to Indelirium Records in Italy and Poor Boy Records in Japan. Live performances intensify, even if JM still doesn't cross the national border. This goals is reached in 2006, during the promotional tour of "The Reverse Of The Medal", first full length released by Indelirium Records in Italy and Fast Circle Records in Japan. The new album is promoted as much as possible by the band, which,in 2007, achieves a tour in Japan, one in Greece and two in Europe (one of these with their buddies in To Kill). The songs in the new album don't diverge too much from those of the previous EP, but they show a certain compositive growth and the introduction of some new elements such as blastbeat. Political mark of the band gets even more strong in the songs, dealing with such topics as war, religion, environment, music industry, animal rights and much more.
