Jet Breaks Up!

Hey everyone!

You may remember the Australian group Jet, who first broke onto the scene in 2004 with the smash hit single "Are You Gonna Be My Girl?" Today, it was announced that the group have decided to call it quits after 11 years as a band. The group made the announcement yesterday via their official website and here is the full statement as it appeared:

"After many successful years of writing, recording and touring we wish to announce our discontinuation as a group. From the many pubs, theatres, stadiums and festivals all across the world it was the fans that made our amazing story possible and we wish to thank them all. Thank you, and goodnight."

The band released their debut album, Get Born in 2003 which sold over 3.5 million copies worldwide. Besides the aforementioned "Are You Gonna Be My Girl?", it featured other awesome tracks like "Cold Hard Bitch", "Rollover DJ", and "Look What You've Done".  The band's sophomore effort Shine On came in 2005, however it wasn't as successful as its predecessor, only producing the minor hits "Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is" and the title track. The band released their last album Shaka Rock in 2009 producing the minor smash "She's A Genius". The band was a soundtrack to my freshman year in high school and I will always remember them from their first album, which provided for so many fun and entertaining moments back then.
