Breaking away from Scandinavian music for a hot minute - how great are We Were Promised Jetpacks? Random band name aside, they remind me of the mid-90s Brit pop bands like Suede and Blur who fed my teeny pre teen rock'n'roll soul. Just like the aforementioned Brit popers, We Were Promised Jetpacks disregard the commonly used trend among international bands of sounding "American" while singing in favor of letting their native style shine though. Also, anytime I see the WWPJ acronym for this Scottish quartet's name, I like to come up with silly alternative names, such as:
What Would Pull Jesus?
Why Wear Pah-Jammies?
Wall Won't Put Jam
(Yes, I really am THIS awesome. Believe it.)
Anyway, check out one of their songs, "Quiet Little Voices"
