Artist History The truth begins simply: Test Planet is the sum total of Jay Wuerth & Jeremiah Keller,and their 77 week trek through basements of hi-fly recording. Week 78 brought the neon flickering into view as rhythmonaut Jason Valentine, crashed landed -- drums barely intact. "Spank Yoda," he murmured. Now, the sometimes blurred, but always resplendent trio seeks newlife between sheets of night's sonic cover. Currently: The trio is laying tracks in the dungeon for a debut album to burst the cosmos with a new voice of alternative rock music. In the meantime, Test Planet is playing heavily-- broadcasting tone and signal through club walls into hips and minds across the Test Planet.

Press Reviews Discovery of a new planet! Test Planet Live Show Tuesday night (7/10/01) I once witnessed a new planet shinning bright in the Columbus sky. I'm talking about the band Test Planet's show at Little Brothers in the Short North. It's rare that you get to see such a celestial event unfold in front of your eyes. Band members Jay, Jerry and Jason put on an amazing show for their army of dedicated fans. It's refreshing to see so much energy and excitement on stage. Along with their great mix of original music they managed to squeeze in some fantastic covers such as, "Love Fool" by the Cardigans and U2's "Pride" in which lead singer Jay Wuerth actually spelled out S-A-F-E-T-Y DANCE in true artistic fashion. Over all this band receives my highest accolades. If you want to hear something other than "radio rock" I suggest you get out to see Test Planet perform. If you're too scared to stop listening to the radio cold turkey I suggest you visit their website at www.mp3.com/testplanet to download some songs. In the end you will be thanking me for turning you on to great local rock that's right down the street. - Mark Farina (July 12, 2001)
