Fusing garage rock, pop, classic rock & roll, and glam rock, Belgian quartet the Van Jets consist of lead vocalist Johannes Verschaeve, guitarist Wolfgang Vanwymeersch, bassist Frederik Tempere, and drummer Michael Verschaeve. After winning the 2004 Humo's Rock Rally contest, they recorded their first EP, Belvedere Records Presents the Van Jets Soldiers, a year later and full-length debut, Electric Soldiers, in 2007. Gaining a reputation as a thrilling live act following performances at Rock Werchter and Pukkelpop, they released sophomore album Cat Fit Fury! in 2010 and third studio effort Halo two years later. Working with producer Leo Abrahams and acclaimed mixing engineer Tchad Blake, the Van Jets further embraced their synth pop tendencies on 2015's vibrant Welcome to Strange Paradise. This mix of bright, synth-oriented glam pop continued with their fifth LP, 2017's Future Primitives, a self-produced affair that was again mixed by Blake. ~ Jon O'Brien, Rovi
