As a big supporter/listener of independent music and bands, I am always for any type of funding or backing that they are given.  RAW artists just so happens to do both by giving these artists the help they need to get known and spread their amazing music. The latest band to be discovered by RAW is rock band Jet Force Gemini. Hailing from the bustling metropolis of Portland, Oregon, Jet Force Gemini brings a classic but modern sound to their listeners.

 

Their newest single “New Disco Era” is nothing but catchy. Roman Bilko’s lead vocals hook you and you immediately start attempting to sing along to lyrics you don’t even know yet. The guitar riffs are wonderfully fantastic, especially the one that comes in right before each verse, it is just the thing to put a smile on every 

music lovers face. Bilko sings “Is there some hook that you’re looking for?/ I’m always here when you’re asking for more.” Well that hook is no longer lost and I am pleading for more, and it is all due to the perfect combination of instruments and smooth vocals that “New Disco Era” provides. It is definitely more pop punk than modern rock but it is obvious to the listener that they have the range that will allow them to easily transition from a pop punk sound to a harder rock sound without missing a beat.

 

If you are as hooked on this song as I am then make sure to mark your calendars, their debut full length album Pistola Melodica is due to arrive this summer. For now you can listen to this single and a few others on bandcamp or on their band website. You can also check them out on Facebook for updates on release dates and upcoming tour dates.  

It’s a “New Disco Era” for Jet Force Gemini
