Label:	FAT CAT (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.50
Catalog #:	FAT 072CD

"Formed in Edinburgh in 2003, We Were Promised Jetpacks tasted success early when they won their high school's battle of the bands competition. Discovered by Fatcat through their countrymen (and now labelmates) Frightened Rabbit, the foursome had already gotten attention and airplay from KEXP, XFM, and the BBC -- before any official release -- on the strength of a widely-circulated 3-song demo. Like fellow Scotsmen Frightened Rabbit and The Twilight Sad, We Were Promised Jetpacks bring emotional intensity to the forefront in their immensely appealing rock anthems. Adding nimble, driving rhythms and bristling tension into the mix, they unfold their songs into effortless-seeming choruses imbued with romanticism and pop sensibility."

Title:	The Last Place You'll Look
Label:	FAT CAT (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$8.00
Catalog #:	FAT 102CD

"2009 saw We Were Promised Jetpacks storm the US from their native Edinburgh, releasing debut These Four Walls to a #12 debut on the Billboard Alternative New Artist Chart and widespread love at press and radio, before touring the country supporting label-mates Frightened Rabbit and The Twilight Sad. The Last Place You'll Look is a ﬁve-song EP featuring three new songs and two alternate versions of tracks from These Four Walls. The new EP is quieter, more drawn out, using strings and piano where the album focuses on distorted guitars and big drum sounds. This alternate sonic palette reveals a no-less-appealing side of the band: less spiky and urgent, but with songwriting chops and melodic mastery to spare."
