(Austin, Tex.) indie/alternative

Ranging from tender to anthemic, Jets Under Fire's sensibility and melodic, piano-driven style will definitely garner comparisons to Brit sensations such as Keane, Travis and The Verve. However, the band's music is also shaped by Smashing Pumpkins, The Beatles and the Beach Boys. Just one listen to their third release, Kingdoms, makes it obvious the band is informed by their influences, not confined. Built around Jason Poe's emotive vocals, Jets Under Fire's songs are unflinchingly introspective and penetratingly beautiful. Poe has that rare ability to suck the audience into his world, making it all but impossible not to hang silently on every note at one of their dramatic live performances. http://www.myspace.com/jetsunderfire
