REDJETSON were a five-piece spread over the less glamorous parts of East London and Essex. The story began when they released their debut split 12” single with Oxford sorcerers YOUTHMOVIE SOUNDTRACK STRATEGIES on Drowned in Sound Recordings in August 2004. This was followed by the release of debut album ‘New General Catalogue’ in the UK in January 2005 (Drowned in Sound Recordings), and across Europe in April 2006 (Talitres Records).

To support these releases, UK tours alongside BLOC PARTY (including Brixton Academy shows), HOPE OF THE STATES and 65DAYSOFSTATIC were followed up with a 2006 Headline tour of France with the Leeds based and Fierce Panda/Beggar’s Banquet/Talitres signed iLIKETRAiNS. The campaign continued in Winter 2006/2007 with a pan-European tour as special guests of ARCHIVE (Warner Brothers), visiting France, Switzerland, Italy, Austria, Poland and Greece.

After the release of double-A side single ‘THE UNRAVELLING’ / 'RACING IN THE MIRE’ on Try Harder Records in March 2007, Redjetson completed the recording of ‘OTHER ARMS’. Despite successful shows revealing the new material to audiences in the UK, the band felt they could continue no longer and gave way to a mutual parting. However, one final gift was imparted to fans with the post humorous release of ‘OTHER ARMS’ on ‘Gizeh Records’.

With the final album Redjetson leave their own epitaph further adding to their epic songs that deal full of slow-burning grandeur, emotional intensity and imposing passion. Despite their glacial exterior, their music is infused with a deep warmth and beating heart, moving away from the constrictive forms of ‘post rock’, and into warmer, more soulful climbs.
