Jets Overhead — No Nations

After listening to Jets Overhead's 2006 Bridges album a couple of years ago, I thought this band needed a bigger budget to fill out their promising shoegazer sound.

Rain Can't Wash Edgefest Away

This year marks the 20th anniversary of Edgefest. The festival has gone through many permutations over the years, but in the end, it still serves as a great way of bringing music to the masses. I don't visit the Amphitheatre often, so every time I come back it takes a little while to get used to the lay of the land. After wandering by the...

Jets Overhead Luke Renshaw's Top Five Albums Of 2009

1. THE BEATLES Rubber Soul [remastered] I'm an absolute Beatles freak, and my favourite album is usually a reflection of how I'm feeling in that particular time period. So this year (and out of all the remastered Beatles albums), I'm feeling a tiny bit psychedelic, but I'm still feeling very true to my pop sensibility. It's a bit of a trip to...
