Jetplane Landing - Zero For Conduct
Description
We're delighted to announce that we're re-issuing post-hardcore quartet Jetplane Landing's 2001 debut album Zero For Conduct on vinyl! Not only that the new vinyl now comes complete with 19 extra exclusive digital bonus tracks featuring never before heard demos, live versions and a written band commentary.
From Northern Ireland and the South of England hail Jetplane Landing - which, for the last two decades has been variously composed of: Jamie Burchell (Bass/Vocals), Raife Burchell (Drums), Andrew Ferris (Vocals/Guitars), Cahir O’Doherty (Guitars/Vocals) and Craig McKean (Drums).
Their debut album Zero For Conduct, was recorded on an 8-track tape machine in Jamie's parents' garage in Bognor Regis and mixed during engineer Sean Doherty’s downtime in a London studio. Hailed a 'masterpiece’ (5Ks - Kerrang!) upon its release in 2001 - it contains fan favourites This Is Not Revolution Rock and Summer Ends and perfectly encapsulates the vitality of the 00's post-hardcore DIY scene that inspired its creation.
Deriving their name from the moment a blissed-out Burchell/Ferris witnessed At The Drive-In perform One Armed Scissor on their debut British TV performance - “Fuck me Ferris, they sound like a jet plane landing!” - ZFC channels that riotous energy across its heart-felt eleven cuts. Delicate acoustic confessionals sit alongside full-throated math-rock experimentation; this is an album as varied as it is ambitious.
Fans of Elliot Smith, Nick Drake, J Mascis, and Stephen Malkmus will feel right at home with this lovingly crafted set. Spoiler alert: heavier sounds and bigger rooms were to come for Jetplane but on Zero For Conduct their musical universe feels at once expansive and deeply personal.
Subscribers to our Legend vinyl subscription service got this fab record on an exclusive Orange/Red pressing.
