Sounds Like:MIDWEST UNCHECKED Reviews:Jupiter jumps headlong into their unique blend of indie garage rock, and they never look back. They approach their music with a twisted sense of humor, but they can pack it with a wallop that can sometimes leave a sting.The band's sound goes into a hundred different directions, exploring a number of pop rock genres, never quite settling into a single style. Sometimes dark and moody, sometimes light and airy, Jupiter careens along this unplanned route without pause. While it lacks an overall focus, it certainly is an exciting ride to take. By the end, you know you've been on adventure, even if you have no idea of where you've been.http://mashmusic.tripod.com/october06.html
