Get Your Rockin' Spring Break On
The Band: Jet Velvet / a chat with co-frontmen Paul Dexter and Matt Bissonette
The Album: Jet Velvet
The Sound: “We both take turns as lead singers, but these songs revolve around the lyrics and instruments more than the voices. We’re definitely in an age where so much music is emotionally driven and deep that it lacks that flat-out fun, get-stuck-in-your-head kind of vibe. We absolutely love that and have always been huge fans of simple hooks that people can instantly grasp, sung so simply that people don’t lose sight of the purpose.” –Bissonette
The Story: “We sing a lot about relationships – both real and imagined. From as simple as just getting along, making it work, to just being there. Then there is the portion of the record where we make fun of ourselves. That’s my favorite part of the project!” –Dexter
The Season: “My best spring trip was a road trip through a majority of the country in a motor home from the west coast, through Yellowstone, Canada, Cape Cod and New York. Try parking a Motorhome in Manhattan – you think you can’t find a spot in a regular car? I’d suggest you drive anywhere you can snowboard in shorts and a T-shirt, iPod ears in with Jet Velvet spinning at a healthy volume.” –Dexter
