    Artist History
    dropped from geffen records, ex-cuckoo guitarist and bassist andrew ferris and jamie burchell just couldn't sit still...... what followed was relocation to london and setting up a studio in jamie's parents' garden shed. writing and recording took place there each weekend. to help with the demos, jamie's brother raife burchell joined on drums. "a band hadn't really been discussed at that point" jamie relates, "we were too busy trying to finish songs".....no one member of jetplane landing can really decide when zero for conduct (the band's debut full-length) sessions began. andrew explains, "we bought some more studio equipment and thought "yeah we can do this in five weeks" so i took extended holiday from work and we got stuck in. we hadn't really allowed for not knowing how the equipment worked and it taking a month to find out if it sounded any good or not! at the end of that summer session, i think we had two backing tracks done. it wasn't a very good start"......the band persevered and by february 2001 the album neared completion. "it had become a labour of love at that point", jamie continues "we were so determined to finish it - but some weekends, everything we recorded sounded shit - we just had to accept that and wipe the tape."......the sound cultivated by the three-piece is one that defied easy classification, genre-hopping their way through an album that is as diverse as one would expect, given the band's unusual recording environment. "i think the record hangs together through its lyrics" andrew states, "all the songs are basically about the same events". described in the press as 'the jesus lizard ram-raiding elliot smith's bedsit', 'shellac on speed' and 'the anglo-irish at the drive-in' - its clear that the band enjoyed combining singer songwriter traditions with the tension of the new punk movement......by spring 2001, the album was completed. jamie and andrew started their own label smalltown america, pressed the record, and booked a tour. the first show was with prague artrockers sunshine in belfast. "i had never sung a full song in public before then, the band started tiny bombs (zfc's title track) and i forgot to come in on the first line - i thought to myself 'this is going to be interesting'." forgotten lyrics aside, the irish tour went well and jetplane landing set out on their continuing mission to play 'everywhere'. jamie briefs us, "if there was a venue who would take us - i'd book us. it amazed me the number of promoters who actually said yes."......as the summer progressed, a full uk/ireland tour. to coincide, the first single from zero for conduct was released - this is not revolution rock - through yogaboy records, an independent label set up by nathan mcgough (ex-manager of Manchester legends, the happy mondays). the vinyl was a turning point for the band, garnering national daytime radio support and positive mutterings in the music media. andrew: "i loved the fact that the album had been recorded with nothing and they still played it. loads of dj's liked it sounding so strange, it made us even more determined to do things ourselves where possible."......holding diy politics dear, jetplane landing may seem to the impartial to be a dichotomy of ambition and agenda. andrew explains "i'd like to think that we're updating an old aesthetic, i think that there are a lot of bands that feel the same way as us, and that we are all contributing to a new movement. its not an anti-industry stance, i like some parts of the business but i think a lot of the music industry is run by people who don't really listen to music, or care about what happens to its artists. i like the whole idea that if you want something really badly in life, if you want to achieve it, you can do it yourself. there's no one that going to do it for you and if you want to get somewhere you do have the power. diy means two things to me; do it yourself, and do it now - there isn't much time really"......the band continued to play up and down the country and managed a third trip to ireland before the end of the year picking up supports with chris leo's post-van pelt outfit the lapse and san francisco's wall of sound pleasure forever along the way. "we've been so lucky with the bands that have let us support", raife adds "without exception everyone has been so helpful - i really think that something is happening with guitar music, everyone seems to be getting behind each other. this is a good time to be in a band." this goodwill culminated with a show at the astoria (one of london's major venues) - supporting irish power-punk-pop legends ash on febraury 4th 2002, described by raife in one word - "tense!"......the band's second single summer ends, hit the stores in the same month, to much the same response as the first and with stocks of the album seriously depleted yogaboy happily agreed to a re-release of the album. "it still blows us away" jamie enthuses, "when people buy records mail order, or from our website, i think its amazing."......zero for conduct was released to a plethora of fantastic reviews on march 4th 2002. described by uk rock bible kerrang! as 'a masterpiece'. jetplane landing continued touring through the spring and summer of that year playing with the likes of indie-artrockers seafood (may) and hundred reasons (june). the former resulting in a collaborative split single, the third to be taken from zero for conduct - live favourite what the argument has changed split with seafood's 'pleasurehead'......these tours represented another turning point for the band, the addition of guitarist cahir o'doherty, borrowed from northern irish punk mavericks clearshot. playing larger stages, and dramatically expanding the band's sound into a four piece informed the band's next project considerably. andrew explains "we always intended to be a 4 piece in the first place and i have less guitar work to do now that cahir carries a lot of the riffs and i can just play and sing, which i feel better at. we have such a lot to learn as a band and a lot more songs to write. but i enjoy this set-up more than i have anything else in my musical career"......the els quatre gats ep, meaning 'very few men' in catalan, was the first venture for the band outside the relative safety of straight to tape. "we knew our environment very well at that stage" andrew states, "perhaps too well - the idea behind recording the ep in a larger studio was an attempt to try and capture what in essence had become our 'show'. i always liked albums recorded in one room - rage against the machine, surfa rosa, rid of me, meantime. this was our attempt to add to that culture."......the recordings completed as a four piece, the band set on another series of firsts, doing the uk summer festival season. among them, an emotional headlining slot at oxford's truck festival 2002 and packed tents at both reading and leeds festivals. "the best thing about reading and leeds" raife explains "was that when you stared into the crowd you could spot all the friendly faces that had been coming to our shows all over the uk. it really was one of the best things i've ever done as a musician."......els quatre gats was released to wide acclaim in october 2002, supported by a national tour. the band continued to dismiss convention with the decision to make their first promo video for the ep's lead track acrimony by themselves! andrew explains "we spoke a lot about videos whilst on tour and after much discussion, we decided that it was something we should attempt, rather than shy away from. obviously, it wasn't something any of us had done before - so the learning curve was massive. we wanted to make a film of the band playing - just as we are in a practise room or at a gig. i thought that the best way to approach it would be to film the same thing lots of different ways - with no concern for framing, lighting, image quality. the video was shot in one take in a rehearsal room in west london on 24 cameras, so it took an afternoon to set up and 3 minutes to record. we were delighted with it getting played once or twice on mtv2, when it made the playlist we couldn't believe it really, more so when it hit #1 on mtv2:most wanted. it was one of the most rewarding moments we have had as a band"......jetplane landing continue their touring mission in 2003 visiting some particularly unorthodox venues on their tour of extremities. andrew explains the motivation for the tour, "we posted a request on our website asking for help in booking our next tour - and we had mail after mail requesting us to play in far-flung locations that bands don't normally visit such as the shetland isles off the east coast of scotland. our fans are very persuasive people and this seemed to us a great idea - we're very excited!". "it strikes me as unfair that people have to travel large distances to see touring bands" continues jamie, "we're doing a little bit to address that situation."......spending january cooped up in their home studio, straight to tape, working on the eagerly awaited follow up to zero for conduct, these rare live shows promise to be the band's most explosive yet......as the four tracks included here demonstrate, jetplane landing drop jaw wherever they unleash their unpredictable and tense angular punk - the ultimate showdown between barbed songwriting, monstrous spring-loaded riffs, pulsing bass and thunderously turbulent drums. this jetplane is taking off - get your ticket fast.

    Press Reviews
    live........alistair lawrence - kerrang! magazine...arts centre, norwich - october 2002...anglo-irish emo types take flight...."are you alright?" asks andrew ferris. "is everyone having a good time?" having writhed and convulsed his way through half an hour's worth of pummeling post-hardcore like a man possessed, jetplane landing's frontman stands with his bandmates, drenched in sweat and seemingly hot enough to blister the venue's paint-work, looking at them, the questions should clearly be reversed. forget the sweeping, 'clarity'-esque grandeur of jetplane landing's critically-acclaimed 'zero for conduct' debut. live, the quartet are a totally different beast, dealing strictly in sh*t-kicking rock 'n' roll capable of effortlessly knocking any number of garage-rock pretenders into touch. the band's impassioned delivery and compelling performances results in a synergetic spectacle capable of nailing jaws to the venue's floor. having caught his breath, ferris hauls a clutch of spring-loaded stage-divers up onstage, the music starts back up on cue, and he promptly spirals back off, out of control. absolutely fantastic. kkkk/kkkkk........paul mcclean - bbc across the line...witnness festival, café rising tent, dublin - july 2002...two tunes into festivities and andrew ferris is leading the crowd in 'morning aerobics'. at ten past midday it's technically afternoon, but as most of the assembled have been up all night under dodgily erected canvass getting up to godknowswhat, we'll consider this the crack of dawn. it's our brisk constitutional. limbs are indeed shaken and circulation is restored. time then to focus on the truth at hand, as the song goes. revolution rock it is. first, a shout out to fellow travellers from the maiden city and we're off. almost. "something's gone very awry" ferris announces. a quick retune and we're back on track with the former single. it's a jerky, angsty and earnest number, the singer's movements likewise. newboy cahir from derry rockers clearshot is in tow, beefing up the riffage and relishing the bigger picture. jamie burchell nods furiously from the other side, occasionally raising his bass on high then swinging it down, almost losing his grip. his brother raife is the general of the rhythm section, marshalling the strange syncopations and keeping a tight leash. fists are raised, polemics issued and the status quo challenged. after this is my fundamental flaw we see a large guy with a headset and a large collection of laminate passes making cut-throat gestures from stage left. but it's only twenty past and we're due a good half hour from jpl. a heated and very public debate ensues with much pointing at watches. the crowd are baying. will they stop? a tempo is cracked out with the drumsticks and a closer is underway. crowd erupt, victorious. around three bars later its silence again as the pa is shut down. andrew races to the side, leads flying, face to face with headset guy. we're not privy to this one, but some compromise is reached, the drums sound again and we're away. it's an edgier, less instantly hooky jpl, as the new material emerging from the burchell family potting shed/studio. it's near the end of the tune and cahir, pumped up at the thought of the ruck makes a grab for a ride cymbal, places it centre stage and kicks seven bells out of it. people are asking who these upstarts are, impressed. this time, we fought the law, and we won.........dani rutherford - the fly magazine...the electric ballroom, london - may 2002...as the place starts to fill up, ireland's answer to fugazi take the stage. jetplane landing have perfected a unique sound. influenced by bands like at the drive-in and refused, it leaps out at you from the amps and grabs you by the balls. the brilliant this is not revolution rock and what the argument has changed are anthems-in-waiting and in this current, spiky musical climate, it just might be the perfect time for them to make it big.........jim wirth - nme...camden barfly@the monach, london - may 2002...jetplane landing singer andrew ferris is murmuring distractedly over a cataclysmic wall of noise. "we must not go quietly," he twitches as this is not revolution rock tumbles to a close. "we must not go quietly..." if you came here tonight expecting something soothing and cathartic to reassure you that life's not so bad and that we're all in it together then jetplane landing really can't help. maybe it's the barbarism of their hook-free oeuvre that turns this anglo-irish foursome from mild-mannered everykids into glowering monsters - maybe that's what they're like deep down anyway - but tonight jetplane landing assault and butcher nice-guy rock'n'roll in a manner that would have the cooper temple clause quaking all the way back to berkshire. they're emo in roughly the same amount as black flag and mild indie boys in roughly the same way that fugazi are mild indie boys, but having dispensed with most of the material from their debut album zero for conduct, jetplane landing are heading deeper and deeper into the eye of their own intense little hurricane. prepare to be blown away: they will not go quietly.........justin hurley - tower records...camden barfly@the monach, london - may 2002...jetplane landing are the kind of band who like to gig, & with years of experience behind them this is evident in their performance. what strikes you as soon as they start playing is the energy of all four members in playing out their own blend of hardcore riffs, solid bass & mr. ferris on vocals giving his all in the name of punk/thrash/grunge/glam - its all in there somewhere. this excellent four-piece have definitely shown that they are part of an ever increasing number of british bands such as hundred reasons, idlewild and seafood who are obviously paying homage to hardcore bands such as fugazi, at the drive-in and refused, while at the same time giving them a run for their money. another thing that is evident is the lack of mistakes made by any of the band, which again goes to prove that these boys have been working hard & its certainly paid off - bigtime. playing a range of material from new, unreleased tracks plus a couple from their album zero for conduct, caressing each tune with the right kind of attention they need. currently on tour with seafood, and an up-coming tour with hundred reasons later this month, these lads are gonna be busy.........catherine chambers - kerrang! magazine...the metro club, london - april 2002...anglo-irish trio take-off, emo-style...the adrenaline rush when jetplane landing hit is unlike anything you've felt before. a powerful surge that knocks the body for six, makes the stomach do triple somersaults, and leaves the skin tingling all over. it's an exuberant feeling and one that you wish would never end. unfortunately, owing to the not inconsiderable problem of a power cut, it does, bringing the tuneful bliss of this is not revolution rock to an abrupt halt. frontman andrew ferris holds his hands aloft in mock gesture and a rather large grin unfolds across his chops. the pa, it turns out, is f*cked. thankfully it's only a minor glitch and jetplane landing bound back onstage five minutes later, encouraged by an enthusiastic crowd and more focussed and determined than before, ferris hurtles around, throwing himself into each song with vigour. the set's finest moment comes with the angular riffage of what the argument has changed, in which the frontman punctuates each emotion-charged lyric with fiery intensity. the trio exit triumphantly with the glorious, heady rush of new single summer ends, one of the finest punk-pop songs this side of ash's shining light and a tune you'll be humming for months. it may be a cliché, but jetplane landing are most definitely on the up. they're britain's best - kept secret - but for how long? kkkk/kkkkk........steve gibbs - organ magazine...west end centre, aldershot - february 2002...while they may claim that they're not revolution rock, they're certainly doing their bit to change the musical landscape this side of the atlantic. bristling with righteous fury and great tunes, this is a band with so much soul it hurts, streamlined to meet the demands of a particularly 21st century dynamic and mainlining on pure anger. this is the sound of a jetplane landing, all the power and grace and noise and beauty, a primal scream that is only about as invigorating as you could ever want. during tiny bombs, it's the rolling stones gone all new york on us and oozing a sleazy, slinky vitality. lights out builds on a most twisted groove, frontman andrew ferris dancing his funky-assed dance and clenching his fists at both band-mates and audience. and atoms dream in technicolor begins as a teutonic mantra and ends as a sweat-drenched call to arms. or on that single, the one which renounces their power to affect an entire world, they become an indie at the drive-in, switching effortlessly between the war cry of "we must not go quietly" and a melodic, jangly chorus.not one note is out of place, every ounce of fat trimmed from every sharp chord, creating a perfect, punk-infused rock n roll beast with the snake hips. imagine fugazi or refused with a buzzing blues vibe welded onto their infectious, taut rhythms. then the warm harmonies bring a loose and spacious feel to each song, giving the riffs essential room to breathe. jetplane landing aren't just a good band, there's also that intangible aura which makes them an important band. tonight, in the confines of the west end centre, we find the true (flight) path to salvation.........roger morton - nme...astoria, london - february 2002...quantum physics, sociological deconstruction, viciously mangled guitars and heartbreak anyone? three-piece jetplane landing are not your regular dumbcore mosh-pleasers. over bloody riffs and rock solid bass, singer andrew ferris yelps and rap-soliloquies in the manner of a post-stuctural theorist having a nervous breakdown. this is no bad thing. in an all too brief set, the irish-rooted mavericks show they can do eccentrically skewed grunge-glam (tiny bombs), roaring, emo-to-the-point-or-violence angst (my fundamental flaw) and planing guitar blasters with some of the most intriguing lyrics around (atoms dream in technicolour). there's a gutsy intensity to ferris and jetplane are a visceral/literate high wire act well worth seeing.........ashley bird - kerrang! magazine...dublin castle, camden, london - november 2001...irish trio rock a packed london toilet...as much fun as daft on-stage equipment trashing can be, some bands are so damn good at the simple art of playing their songs that it would all be superfluous for them to indulge in such gimmickry. jetplane landing are one of those bands. a deceptively straightforward, clean cut indie-rock trio from derry, they stroll on-stage in sweaters looking like nothing much at all. then they kick into their set with eye-opening force and effortlessly win over a packed crowd who are here to see the much heavier hundred reasons play a secret show later on. throwing underground influences like the lapse, karate and les savy fav into a musical blender, the jetplane three add a touch of elvis costello's quality tunesmithery and moments of talking heads-style quirkiness. but while the influences may sound a little lightweight, they crack out their tunes with a passion and energy of a hardcore band - singer/guitarist andrew ferris screaming, crooning and spitting out his words with such determination that its impossible not to be impressed. meanwhile drummer raife burchell is a powerhouse of a sticksman, lending each song an irresistibly chunky backbone, and his bassist brother jamie locks into the groves perfectly. together, the band have an instinctive feel for their music and catchy nuggets such as current single this is not revolution rock and the brilliant what the argument has changed sounding crisp, clear and vibrant. what with the current vogue for all things sort of punky, sort of scuzzy, sort of indie (the strokes, the white stripes etc.) this could just be the perfect time for jetplane landing. they'd deserve it too - you won't see a tighter, puncher three-piece on this side of the pond. kkkk/kkkkk........paul mcnamee - nme...camden barfly@the monach, london - september 2001...suddenly something clicks and they get angular and angry and turn toward fugazi. with a little push they could be an anglo irish at the drive-in with enough individual twists to emerge as the best punk pop band from derry since the undertones. ..........record........els quatre gats ep........nick mcdermott - rock sound magazine...full of off-kilter time signatures, this offering streaks across the post-punk scene leaving vapour trails in it's wake. fugazi-inspired riffery and ian mackay-style vocals tweaked with their own turbulent axe-interplay make for one hell of an impressive touch-down.8/10........catherine yates - kerrang! magazine...this is the first batch of new material from jetplane landing since their debut lp zero for conduct earlier this year. released to coincide with the post-hardcore quartet's fourth trek round the uk, the ep is a collection of urgent, driving rhythms, jarring fretwork and impassioned deliveries; nothing you won't have heard before from four men and their guitars then. however, with the kind of sweat soaked, feral energy that has guaranteed the band packed crowds live. best of all is an upheaval, a song whose hi-tensile verses detonate into a flurry of blistering, spiked riffs and savage refrain' fight your limits!'.kkkk/kkkkk........summer ends single........robert luckett - drownedinsound.com...what a stupid thing do. jetplane landing go and release one of the best summer punk-pop anthems for years at the start of a particularly cold and grey march. the fools! we can forgive them for this, as summer ends is as perky and exciting a tune you're likely to hear this side of the next millennium. an urgent, yearning pop-blast, it cleverly combines relationship gone awry lyrics with an ash aping tune. all jangly guitars, exploding drumrolls, and bouncy bass lines. cracking. this is 2:10 of guitar pop heaven - perfect.........ashley bird - kerrang! magazine...two-parts english, one-part irish trio unleash the most accessibly jaunty moment from their superb debut album zero for conduct. summer ends buzzes along to some racy guitar work and a melody to die for.kkkkk/kkkkk........andrew w.k. - kerrang! magazine..."that one's very good. you remember it by the end for sure. again they've opted for that lo-fi recording sound. i like the chords and the bizarre, unique vocal harmonies. kudos to the guy for his impossibly long phrasing - i couldn't dream of singing like that without a breath. five k's for this one." kkkkk/kkkkk........this is not revolution rock single........nme...as the supa-league of rock stars react with immaculate gravity to current international unrest, sometimes you just need to hear a record a trivial and honest as this. somewhere between the lopsided pop of pavement and the energetic force of idlewild, jetplane landing freely admit "this is not revolution rock you hear, it's something much less complex". to prove it, they deliver a record blissfully ignorant of trends, politics and responsibilities ("never expect us to save you") they advise wisely at one point) that rattles along, buoyed by the simple joy of existing. these days, that's revolutionary in itself.........darren taylor - rock sound magazine...they may claim that it's not revolution rock, but here at rock sound hq we beg to differ. already making a considerable noise on the live circuit, jetplane landing's knack for switching between speeded-up rock and slowed-down poignancy is proving a winner, even if the band are a little reluctant. a firm favorite with the 'landing followers, this is not revolution rock sums up their endearing chop-and-change dynamics perfectly. sit back and prepare to watch them fly.........zero for conduct album. ashley bird - kerrang! magazine...quirkily rocking anglo-irish guitar pop genius...this is an album that makes you feel a little bit cooler for owning it. one of those records that you lose yourself in, tell your friends about and get pissy with them when they don't rush out to buy it straight away. like the 'vaya' ep by at the drive-in or brad's 'shame' album, it is all the better for the fact that you know not everyone will understand it, but those who do will cherish it. admittedly on paper it all sounds a bit odd. jetplane landing are a geeky looking three-piece-two parts english, one part irish. their music is something akin to the art-rock stylings of talking heads and the lapse bolted onto the classic pop songwriting suss of, say, elvis costello, and beefed up with chunky, pixies-esque, post-punk guitars and the odd screamy moment. this may strike you as an awful idea, but in practice it works a treat - crispy nuggets of almost infuriatingly catch rock, with immersive lyrical musing and some completely swoonsome guitar flourishes. the likes of what the argument has changed and recent seven-inch summer ends find the trio putting pedal-to-metal in fine style to create joyously noisy pop music, while the last thing i should do and end of the night are achingly personal vignettes, dripping with soul. frontman andrew ferris is an unlikely star in the making, but his impassioned delivery and incredible way with a tune would suggest some sort of underground hero status beckons. and the man's lyrics shine throughout, couplets like "and if i could make a list of my regrets, you would be at the top of every page, highlighted in red" on 'what the argument...' displaying a knack for the tearjerker that will have emo fans fumbling for the handy andys. previous single this is not revolution rock, by the same token, puts all these elements together to create and almost perfect slice of lo-fi melodicism not an album for anaal nathrakh fans, then. but for those who appreciate the little things in life zero for conduct is a masterpiece. kkkkk/kkkkk.......stuart bailie - bbc across the line...a few years back, andrew ferris was a colourful guitar-slasher and full-on enthusiast with derry act cuckoo. they'd signed a grand deal with geffen records, but could never find a comfortable place between the mainstream and the underground. it ended badly, but ferris was smart enough to gain from the experience. so, jetplane landing, his new project, has integrity, cool and a passionate reason for being out there. the act also features brothers jamie (bass) and raife burchell, and it was recorded at their parent's garage at week-ends. thus far, the interest has been flagged up by mates, web action (www.jetplanelanding.com) and visitors to their current shows. now they have a record label, distribution and many fave reviews in the music mags, some of them keen to regard jpl as an of-the-moment 'emo' act. but this is intelligent, unique music, beyond trends. you can hear bits of j mascis, pavement, the pained swoon of elliott smith and the politicised, hectoring style of say, the make-up or at the drive-in. the tunes are wonderful and the guitar action is surprisingly odd. take underground queen as an example of the band's tender aspect, a bruised farewell to life as it was. or for a revving contrast, try this is not revolution rock, a bunch of jittering slogans, looking for meaning beyond the easy dogma. "cancel your subscription to love's young dream," andrew bellows. but of course, the whole album is still spiked with romanticism and the supposed clarity of youth. contradictions: don't you love them? he cusses plenty, waffles about pythagoras and gets so emotional at times that the words are tumbling, spinning out of reach. and of course, the listener has been here also, sharing in the anxiety, and pain and frustration. which is why a lot more people will be subscribing to this particular young dream in the coming months........victoria durham - rock sound magazine...jetplane landing might be perched scarily close to the hype machine, but they'll be damned if they're going to let it swallow them up. penning the lyrics, "this is not revolution rock, it's something much less complex", this anglo-irish threesome's debut has its feet firmly on the ground. however, as part of the currently buzzing uk emo-punk movement, andrew ferris and co needn't be so modest. switching between the spiky spoken word of favourite what the argument has changed and the gentle contemplation of a miracle of science and the last thing i should do, this jetplane has all the in-flight requirements that an indecisive rock fan could wish for - and a generous helping of youthful spunk along with it, in classic rants like "fuck you and your opposite sex". Zero for conduct but full marks for potential, the top of the class is surely in sight.
