In the artist's words:

Paul's Jets (also known as "the Jets") appear relatively suddenly in Vienna in the second third of the 2010s. FM4 plays songs such as "Diese Villa ist verlassen" and "Üben üben üben"; the young band performs the song "Ich komme in den Park" on the well-known TV show "Willkommen Österreich". The band soon became a new force to be reckoned with in the Austrian music scene. But what do they actually want? The album "Alle Songs bisher", released in 2019, doesn't provide an answer, but with 16 tracks it makes a plea against the small-mindedness of indie pop - or rather, it blurts it out. Dada meets pathos, slogans like "Where do you stand with your art, baby" meet pop gems like the slacker love song "22703". It is less the content than the questions and contrasts that the band creates; there are pop songs that both serve and subvert pop. The Jets go on a major tour and play over 60 concerts in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

The second album "Highlights zum Einschlafen" (2020) paints a somewhat gloomy picture with tracks such as "Blizzard" and "Die dunklen Prinzessinnen der Nacht" (The Dark Princesses of the Night) and provides an inside view between everyday life on tour and the lonely four walls at home. Relationships, longing and coming-of-age melancholy define "Highlights zum Einschlafen", whose cover is adorned with a sad knight.

With their third album "Jazzfest" (2022) and their signing to the Berlin label Staatsakt, the Jets are taking a new direction and formally working on chance, sound and montage, while the coronavirus rules make the magic of the unrepeatable moment of live music impossible. So they sing "Kommst du mit aufs Jazzfest" and invent their own fictional festival with the song, which is emblazoned on both the album cover and a series of 200 T-shirts. Acclaimed shows and reviews followed: "An album of the year" wrote the Wiener Zeitung. The Musikexpress headlined: "the masters of projection surface pop are jetting on the meta rocket", the Falter saw the album as "full to the brim with catchy and idiosyncratic songs between quirkiness and catchy tune", the Standard spoke of "joy of life crashing with guitars".

After an extensive break, the Jets are now forging new material in secret laboratories. The question hangs in the air like a chemical scent: what will the Jets sound like in 2024? The unknown beckons with a wink.

The Jets are: Romy Jakovcic, Kilian Hanappi, Xavier Plus, Paul Buschnegg
