Phantom Jets

About Me

Lookout! cuzz headin' your way in rev-o-phonic sound--it's the Phantom Jets! They're all new, and they're what are happening now in the Capital City. Coming at you with a style of beat music borrowing from the wyldest groups of the 60's, but also incorporating the hi-energy styles of today, the Phantom Jets play songs reverberating with the sounds of minor-key 60's garage pop, fuzzed-out punkers, and a bit of reverb-drenched spooky surf thrown into the mix. They are a group with a single mission....to get people's feet moving with rockin' sounds! Furthermore, they're out to prove that you don't need amps with 19 rectifiers, or a drum kit with 20 pieces, and that 2-3 minute songs can get the job done just as well as any.....and that time spent perfecting a song is time that could be better used learning a new one...No need to keep your eyes and ears peeled for the Phantom Jets, they guarantee you'll hear them a-coming!
