SONG OF THE DAY [#326]

'never never' | the warm jets

the warm jets were one of the more unfortunate casualties of the britpop explosion of the mid-90s. though if you were a fan of music back then, it's really pretty easy to see why: three words in their name. in the age of suede, pulp, blur, oasis, sleeper, echobelly, elastica, gene, supergrass, radiohead, and countless others one-named bands, a band with two words in their name, much less three, really didn't stand a chance. what a shame.

in all seriousness, the warm jets were a really fantastic band. ten years on since their first--and only--album, 'future signs,' hardly a month goes by where i don't listen to 'never never' or 'hurricane.' they're still great songs and stick rock just as mightily back then as they do today. the album is long since out of print [i'm sure you could find it used on amazon], but if you want to give it a listen, you can download it here. [and i highly suggest you do!] there, you can't say i never did anything for you.
