Colin Healy & The Jetskis - The New Kids On The Indie-Pop Block

Richmond, VA. (Top40 Charts/ Colin Healy & The Jetskis Official Website) - Colin Healy & The Jetskis are a refreshing cocktail of youth pop, mixed with indie edge, and a subtle shot of punk rock. Hailing from Richmond Virginia, this flavorsome group are a bundle of creative energy, whose boyish good looks, cheeky teen antics and musical talent have inspired reality TV show interest, comic strip concepts, and branded toothbrushes for fans.

Behind the playfulness, however, The Jetskis are a curious blend of innocence and maturity. Romance rookies who are unafraid to wear their hearts on their sleeve, they prove that teenage boys, as well as girls, anguish over love, life and relationships. The title track '...Or Just Don't Go' captures the essence of the entire EP, with its high school sweetheart angst, mixed with rock rhythms, catchy guitar hooks and vocal prowess.

Influenced by the likes of Brand New, Manchester Orchestra, Sigur Ros, and Dashboard Confessional, The Jetskis describe their music as 'Too pop to be indie, and too indie to be pop'. The band consists of frontman and pianist Colin Healy, guitarists Harrison Weber and Cullen MacDonald, bassist Jon Norton, and drummer Tony Cornicello. Colin is the group's songwriter, but each member brings their own unique personality and musical stamp to the mix.

Since their high school jam sessions (where Harry had to see the school counsellor about his continued absence due to gigs!), the quirky quintet have performed with explosive acts such as The Maine, A Cursive Memory, We The Kings, The White Tie Affair, and All Time Low. They are now ready to follow in the footsteps of Jason Mraz and show the rest of the country that the wealth of talent from Richmond, Virginia, just keeps on rolling in.
