An indication of things to come...

"The Dirty Sweet E.P. is a rerelease of the debut 12" release from Australian rock outfit Jet. From the blistering guitar intro of "Take It Or Leave It" their distinct raw rock sound is easy to pick. Borrowing heavily from influences such as the Rolling Stones, but at the same time bringing a fresh new outlook on rock music, Jet are definitely a band to look out for in the next decade. This E.P. is a great precursor to their forthcoming album "Get Born" and I highly recommend it."
Dirty Sweet EP

"An outstanding EP, that will most certainly blow you away. Within the first minute of listening I was hooked. Resembling early Beatles and the rolling stones, it's hard to say this band isn't going to be huge. They certainly have got 2003 covered, and I'm eagerly awaiting the album. I'd advise this EP to any rock 'n' roll fan gagging to get their paws on a band that really put the rock back in rock 'n' roll."
A taste of what is yet to come

"This EP is awesome-It brings the roots of rock 'n' roll back to the forefront. I'm glad they decided to re-release it here in the States. It also goes to show you that it doesn't take a million dollar budget to make a decent recording. One complaint-It's only four songs-It's too short! Jet will be one the next-generation rock bands to dominate for years to come."
Jet - full speed ahead

"this cd is new to my collection, yet does not feel that way. the music is upbeat, yet soothing and seems very familiar. the music is a perfect blend of sounds new and old, and the music will last a very long time in listeners' ears."
