The BLACK JETTS "Bleed Me" CD.
(Official Site)

Newcomers from Dead Beat Records, the label of the awesome Sundays Drunks and of the High Beams, The Black Jetts immediately reminded me of a rawer version of the Richmond Sluts (probably because of the singer's voice which sometimes is amazingly really close to Shea Robert's) and their songs could only make me interested in them. Musically, this album is however not that far from those of bands like The Preacher's Kids, The Hard Feelings or the New Wave Hookers. They've got a good live reputation and they probably wanted to recreate this live energy on the album, which would explain the raw production of "Bleed Me" and, songs like "Cheap Date", "Summer Girls" and "Rehab Love" (my favorite ones) should give every "High Energy" rock'n'roll junkie their needed dose for weeks.
