Percolating with the nervous energy of the Talking Heads, the stuttering punk-funk of Gang of Four, and the pulsating synths of the Cars, Jupiter One injects colorless indie rock with a bracing rhythmic pulse, two-fisted pop hooks, and East Coast swagger.
Named after the failed starship in the geeky ’60s TV cult fave Lost In Space, Jupiter One was formed in 2003 by singer/guitarist K Ishibashi, guitarist/keyboardist Zac Colwell, synth-player Mocha, and drummer Dave Heilman, later adding Pat Dougherty on bass. The New York-based five-piece produce an electrifying, invigorating sound that recall the pogo-party frenzy of the late ’70s-early ’80s underground club scene but with a contemporary guitar punch that has drawn comparisons to the Killers, Franz Ferdinand, and Bloc Party.
Jupiter Ones space-age orchestral rock hits hard enough to move asses on the dance floor, and is so richly textured and thoughtfully conceived that it can open minds at the same time.
