Jet Fuel was a LA based hard rock outfit that was together between 2003 and 2007 who rarely played outside the LA area. Their musical style was somewhat a culmination of many different genres, but the outcome was somewhere in the realm of 70's proto-metal bands like Stray and NWOBHM bands like Witchfinder General. Main songwriter, Chris Naab started the band in 2003 with singer James Luna and bassist Erte DeGarces. They subsequently released their first EP 'PEECE' that same year, featuring four original songs. They released their second EP entitled 'Give It Hell' in 2004 featuring 5 original tracks, including a revamped version of "Time has Left Today", which was originally released on their first EP.
DeGarces' sludgy bass lines and Naab's dusty guitar licks provided the perfect juxtaposition for Luna's bubble gum style vocals. However, Jet Fuel has been criticized for relying too heavily on poppy glam rock hooks, characterized in their typically anthemic choruses. In 2005, Jet Fuel released a three song 7" entitled 'Straight for 88' on Naab's own Black Top Fade Records, which showcased more of Naab's glam-infused songwriting style, especially in the title track's choruses, which proclaim "Exterminate, exterminate the clocks of time, headed straight for 88, we'll blow your mind, it's a timebomb, setting you off right now." This sentiment seems very consistent with Naab's obsession with musical era's of the past and especially his obsession with hip-hop circa 1988. This would be Jet Fuel's last official release on Black Top Fade before breaking up in late 2007, ironically right after recording their first full-length record that was never officially released.
