INTERNATIONAL JETSETTERS, increasingly one of our favourite local bands. Formed by Oxford pop veteran Mark Crozer and former-Ride drummer Loz Colbert, the pair of them now also part of The Jesus & Mary Chain, they're an amalgamation of everything that was great about indie rock, when that term actually meant something. From the narcotic fuzz of Spacemen 3 to the insistent jangle and drone of The Wedding Present, and lifted spaceward by singer Fi McFall's ethereal vocals, they're dark and dreamy but they rock like bastards.
