The Screaming Jets are an Australian hard rock band formed in Newcastle, Australia in 1989 by front man Dave Gleeson on vocals, Grant Walmsley on guitar and Paul Woseen on bass guitar and backing vocals. The band has three albums that peaked in the top five on the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) Albums Chart, ''All for One'' (1991), ''Tear of Thought'' (1992) and ''The Screaming Jets'' (1995). Their 1991 single, "Better", reached No. 4 on the related Singles Chart. Walmsley left in 2007 and formed his own band. In 2013, bassist Paul Woseen released an acoustic solo album, ''Bombido''. ==Early years to ''All for One''== The Screaming Jets were formed as a hard rock group in January 1989 in Newcastle by three former members of a high school band, Aspect with singer Dave Gleeson, bass guitarist Paul Woseen and guitarist Grant Walmsley.〔〔 Gleeson and Walmsley had met in 1981 at St Francis Xavier’s College in Hamilton, first performing together for a school dance at the Newcastle Town Hall.〔 They first formed Sudden Impact in 1985, which later became Aspect; Woseen joined in 1988.〔 Other founding members of The Screaming Jets were guitarist Richard Lara and former The Radiators' drummer Brad Heaney.〔 Their first performance was as The Love Bomb at a Newcastle pub in March.〔 Renamed The Screaming Jets, they won the inaugural National Band Competition run by youth radio broadcaster Triple J in November.〔〔 They relocated to Sydney by early 1990 and supported The Angels on a national tour. In May, they signed with independent label, rooArt.〔 Their debut extended play (EP), ''The Scorching Adventures of the Screaming Jets'', was issued in December.〔 Through late 1990, The Screaming Jets became infamous for a series of raucous, sometimes violent, live shows. During shows to launch the debut EP, fights often broke out as the band's faithful Newcastle fans mixed with the new Sydney fans. A show at The Kardomah Cafe in Sydney's red light district saw a string of casualties being ferried to the street outside with injuries including broken noses, a broken leg and numerous victims of heat exhaustion. In April 1991, The Screaming Jets released their debut studio album ''All for One'' which peaked at No. 2 on the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) Albums Chart and spawned a No. 4 hit single, "Better".〔 The album showed influences from Van Halen, AC/DC and The Angels.〔 It reached the Top 50 on the ARIA End of Year Albums Chart for 1991.〔 Two top 40 singles, "Stop the World" and "Shine On", followed.〔 The controversial track "F. R. C." ("Fat Rich Cunts") was a crowd favourite – a live version was released on ''Stealth Live!'' (EP, 1991) – which Gleeson would dedicate to Michael Gudinski or Russ Hinze at concerts.〔 At times, "F. R. C." was performed by guest vocalists from Mortal Sin, The Choirboys or The Angels. Following the album's release, the group relocated to the United Kingdom where they based themselves for over two years. They toured there, the rest of Europe and the United States and supported varied hard rock and heavy metal bands. Their third EP, ''Living in England'', was issued in June 1992 and included cover versions of Johnny Cash's "Folsom Prison Blues" and AC/DC's "Ain't No Fun (Waiting Round to Be a Millionaire)".〔 The EP spawned the title single, "Living in England", which peaked in the top 20 in July.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Screaming Jets」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
