If there is an “aesthetic” we are speaking of, The Ringo Jets prefer to feed themselves from timeless bands and people: Delta Blues of Son House and Howlin’ Wolf, Bo Diddley, The Who, The Sonics, The Kinks from the 60 s, then The Stooges,
MC5 and Black Flag following them along with SS Decontrol, The Gories and so on...
After their outstanding showcase performances at GLIMPS (Gent), PRIMAVERA SOUND (Barcelona), WAVES (Vienna), then opening act performances for legendary bands like PIXIES and PORTISHEAD, the word is out...

Three on stage: two guitar-heroes and a miss on drums. They all sing...

Their official debut release been postpone due the riots in Istanbul (Gezi Park Occupation) and they wanted to salute to this historic moment with a video of their song “Spring of War” (written and recorded before the riots!). Video got a huge impact in Turkey and viewed more then 150.000 times within 10 days...

about

The Ringo Jets Istanbul, Turkey

Arguably one of Turkey's most interesting musical exports - a fiery, loud yet melodic rock trio comprising two guitarists and a drummer sharing vocal duties. TRJ appeared on prestigious festivals such as Sziget, Primavera, and Transmusicales and toured Europe extensively. Their musical ethos, infectious songs and solid stage performance make for a remarkably authentic rock band. ... more

Low And Behold!
by Mount Hush

supported by 4 fans who also own “The Ringo Jets”

Short but powerful, this album starts as if Miss Lava united with the gritty voice of Rob Zombie. There are truly brilliant moments in "King Beyond" and I can't help stop thinking that I 'd love to hear the band cover "To Cry You a Song" by Jethro Tull. The last two songs create the perfect link with how the band's sound would evolve within a few years' time into their amazing self-titled album. I 'm late to the Mount Hush party but I catching up with heavy rotation. Check them out today! Ioannis Valiakos
