"Bring It On Back" by Jet

Australian rock band Jet took off high into the sky and, after leaving us a thrilling trilogy of records, was never heard from again. These guys were rock purists, drawing comparisons to early Rolling Stones.

Their impressive debut yielded three charting singles from 2003 to 2005: "Are You Gonna Be My Girl" (#29), "Cold Hard Bitch" (#55), and "Look What You Done" (#37). The success of these singles propelled the album, "Get Born," to #26 on the US album chart. Another overlooked track from this magnificent record is "Lazy Gun."

Their follow-up record, "Shine On," went even higher in 2006, to #16. However, it failed to yield any charting singles. Hard to believe given the quality of songs like "Bring It On Back," which shows more of their Beatles influence instead of the Stones.

Much to the dismay of fans around the world, this amazing group suddenly disbanded after the release of another excellent record, "Shaka Rock," in 2009. My favorite track from this final record has to be "She's A Genius." Here's hoping for a reunion record one day...
