Description
Jyrojets are one of the most heavily tipped bands around, with shed-loads of great press. The Sun named them as one of the seven hottest bands of 2007, and The Guardian raved about their debut EP: "a spiralling guitar riff The Edge or Johnny Marr would kill for, a sublime anthem". They recently performed a live acoustic set for BBC Radio Scotland and were introduced as “a band on the cusp of greatness�.
They recently played at SXSW and the San Francisco Chronicle wrote: “Jyrojets played one of the most promising sets of the festival’. The band also performed for ME TV while in Texas. They head back to the US in April for the BBC Britbus tour which takes them right across the country from New York to San Francisco. They also play at the Musexpo Showcase in Hollywood on 1st May.
Jyrojets are currently recording their debut album, set for release this summer. The band released their debut EP in November and received extensive airplay and rave reviews. Radio 1’s Vic Galloway has tipped them to make it big this year. They also opened for Richard Ashcroft in front of 10,000 people and performance clips were broadcast on the STV News.
The last Jyrojets headline gig in Inverness was a complete riot (check out the live videos at Jyrojets.com). The band have already headlined the BBC Radio Scotland stage at the Belladrum Festival, supported Dirty Pretty Things, The Kaiser Chiefs and The Ordinary Boys, played festivals in Spain and Moscow with a live radio and TV broadcast across Russia, and made history by becoming the first band from Inverness ever to sign a major record deal!
