Jurassic Jets were formed in early 2014 inside of York's averagely high walls. Taking influence from many different artists we have forged a truly unique brand of alt-rock whilst making an awful lot of noise in the process.
We released our (self titled) first ep in April 2015 (available on soundcloud) and now our second ep "Jurassic Jets 2.0" a year later (also available on soundcloud).
