Colin Healy & the Jetskis
Looking for new music to update your iTunes? GL’s got your rock fix covered with this five-piece.
Colin Healy & the Jetskis, an export of Richmond, Virginia, has been creating its piano-infused pop-rock since Colin and his Jetskis (guitarists Harrison Weber and Cullen MacDonald, bassist Jon Norton and drummer Tony Cornicello) were buddies in high school.
The band has been committed from the start and sometimes had to choose between their budding career and their studies—in high school, Harrison had to visit a guidance counselor because he continually skipped school to play gigs!
The boys’ dedication to their music was definitely not for nothing. Released in June, the band’s EP “…Or Just Don’t Go” is a smooth ride through the hardships of teenage relationships, love and life. The title track opener is a familiar rocker, similar to the piano-pop of other bands, like Relient K. All five of the songs on the disc are solid in their musical construction—the tracks are all cohesive but each has something unique about it.
Self-described as “too pop to be indie, and too indie to be pop,” Colin Healy & the Jetskis bring a mix of influences and styles of music to the album. Standout songs are “The One” and “Stars.” Colin’s simple and sincere lyricism makes the tracks easy for any love-struck—or heart-broken—teenager to relate. And did we mention they’re all super cute?
