Sparklejet is the tried and true, all-American rock band. Born in the unlikely agricultural hub of Central California, the Fresno-based group holds true to its rock 'n' roll roots, playing music the way it should be played: 100 percent pretension-free. 
Sparklejet has settled into a stripped-down, power-trio lineup where they find themselves at the height of their ability to convey uncompromising power and urgency. The band bounces effortlessly across the rock landscape, drawing from the likes of past and current heroes including The Replacements, Pixies, Husker Du, The Kinks, Guided By Voices, The Police, Foo Fighters, Devo, Led Zeppelin, and The Who. Speaking of Townshend and the boys, Sparklejet performed its own rendition of The Who's Tommy back in 2002. Sparklejet has toured throughout the Northwest, having shared the stage with bands like Kaito, Earlimart, the Mother Hips, Radar Bros., Pine Martin, the High Speed Scene and more. The trio has been featured in Billboard magazine's Best New Artist spotlight, and its music has been used on ESPN's Extreme Games. All show-goers who frequent central Cali's tight-knit music scene hold this tasteful rock band in the highest regard. Sparklejet embrace a musical ethic that is focused, simple, meaningful and fun while successfully avoiding adherence to any specific mold or stylistic code. Not because they've taken a contrived, anti-social punk rock stance or infused their music with any such self-defeating message, but simply because they don't try to be anything except who they are by nature. No trendy clothes, no fancy haircuts -- just rock. |
