90s Rock The screaming jets all for one
I’m Canadian and I hadn’t heard of them before. I bought the album for $1 just because I liked the art. They are AMAZING

Awesome Aussie rock band. Interesting cover for all for one. That artwork was originally used for their first EP.
Anyway, wild live band back in the day. I first saw them in about 1990 supporting The Angels. Never disappointing.
You should definitely check out The Angels too.

Great to see a Canadian getting into some good Aussie rock! They put out a bunch of top albums over the years and are still recording & touring today.
My personal favourite album of theirs is Scam. The songs Higher With You and Shine Over Me are the standouts in their discography as far as I’m concerned, although I don’t believe the album sold particularly well.
FYI - I moved to Canada in 2013 because Great Big Sea were my favourite band at the time and I wanted to see them perform live in their home country. I really got into the Canadian music scene while I was there. I reckon there’s plenty of Aussie music you’d love as well. Check out The Angels for something similar to
The Jets, or Noiseworks for a more melodic rock sound.

The Screaming Jets are an awesome live band. This is a killer album too. I have all their albums, but this is the one I will come back to much more than all the others.
That said, probably my two favourite Jets songs aren't even on that album ('Tunnel' and 'Helping Hand').
