When I first saw their name, I thought it was The Jet Age, when, in fact, this is The Jet Age of Tomorrow (also known as The Super 3) from Atlanta, Georgia. The odd thing about the “Super 3” name is that there’s actually just two people in the group.
Anyway, The Jet Age of Tomorrow’s third album, JellyFish Mentality, was released last month as a free download on oddfuture.com.

Austin’s American Sharks recently just signed with The End Records and they’ve also announced a double massive tour with The Sword & Castle and Clutch and The Sword. Expect to find American Shark’s singer/bassist Mike Hardin, drummer Nick Cornetti, and guitarist Will Ellis as they hold up with their stoner* punk fuzz.
* I would like to add also they seem to be heavily influenced by seventies rock and metallic 90s (think Supersuckers and Glenn Danzig).
Look for their album this September.

We previously mentioned the brit-punk band Sharks. Since we last mentioned them, the band released their debut album, Selfhood, in late May, via Rise Records.
Regarding the lyrics, singer James Mattock said, “I wrote most of the lyrics in a room above a morgue in which I lived with my fiancée for about five months. The place was an old Victorian building with no heat, running water, or bathroom. It wasn’t even legally residential. A lot of what I was going through around this period is channeled in the lyrics. These are the most intimate and personal songs I’ve written – thus Selfhood is the most fitting title.”
Stay tuned for announcements on U.S. touring plans.
