Bandleader Jet Baker comments: “It was a few hard years with the pandemic and therefor we thought that we ask our loyal fans, that grew with us for more than 10 years, to help us release the album. We have never done something like this, but we saw other bands working with their fans successfully to release music and we thought that our time has come now.” Jet turned at the peak of the lockdown to the friends of punk music, to release a bad-ass AA-side-7-inch-single “Unsung [Read More]
