EP26 - Zero For Conduct by Jetplane Landing

In this episode Andrew Ferris (guitar/vocals)and Jamie Burchell (bass) join me to discuss how Jetplane Landing was formed after their previous band Cuckoo disbanded in the late-90s. Zero For Conduct, the band's debut album, was recorded in Jamie's homestudio in Bognor Regis and released on the band's own Smalltown America label in 2001. Jetplane Landing would release three more albums before calling it a day in 2014. Andrew and Jamie were joined in Jetplane by Jamie’s brother Raife on drums and later Cahir O’Doherty joined on second guitar. Maybe soured by their experience on a major label in Cuckoo and definitely taking inspiration from Fugazi and DC Hardcore, Andrew and Jamie went it alone, theirs was a DIY punk/post-hardcore work ethic that was absolutely inspirational – tours of the UK and Ireland were often over 60 dates long. I first saw them 2003 and they were just incredible live. Zero For Conduct is a truly fantastic album and remains one of my favourite albums from the 00s. Episode notes are here.
