San Francisco, California-based hard rock group Jetboy issued third full-length studio album Born To Fly<\/em> on January 25th, 2019 through Frontiers Music Srl.<\/p>\n

Born To Fly<\/em> marks the first full-fledged set of new material from Jetboy since 1990.<\/p>\n

Guitarist Billy Rowe commented: \u201cThe band wasn\u2019t working on any new material when Frontiers approached us. Mickey and I had written one or two songs a few years back, but that\u2019s about it. For myself, I\u2019ve been very into writing music and got very into recording, so I had a good amount of complete musical songs that I always felt could end up as new Jetboy material, and some of it did. But the majority of the songs on this album were written within a couple of months after we got the offer from Frontiers.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWriting and recording this album came so naturally, there was no struggle at all. We feel it happened at the right time and was meant to be.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe spirit of the band has been at an all-time high ever since we started this new album. We shared ideas via e-mail and then demoed every song before entering the studio. Once we started tracking this album, we all felt something special was going on.\u201d<\/p>\n

Born To Fly<\/em> has been described as a blend of rock \u2018n\u2019 roll with a traditional blues-based influence. \u201cThe musical inspiration for the Born To Fly<\/em> album came from a lifelong list of influences from bands we all grew up on from the 1970s,\u201d added Rowe.<\/p>\n

\u201cJetboy has always approached its writing with a simple, stripped-down, no-nonsense rock \u2018n\u2019 roll structure, starting with a great riff and a catchy hook.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis album flowed so organically, everything felt like it was meant to be. We\u2019ve also all really grown as musicians, which really helped capture what we feel is some of our best work to date.\u201d<\/p>\n

Vocalist Mickey Finn reckons the \u201clyrics flowed amazingly fast, with most songs being written in one sitting. My feelings were to stay true to Jetboy\u2019s roots and style, but to also incorporate where we are at today, pleasing old and new fans alike.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy wife was the inspiration for \u2018Every Time I Go\u2019 and my firstborn son inspired \u2018The Way You Move Me\u2019. Our life struggles as a band and lifelong friends inspired tracks like \u2018Beating The Odds\u2019 and \u2018Born To Fly\u2019. \u2018Inspiration From Desperation\u2019 covers our political climate in America these days, \u2018Brokenhearted Daydream\u2019 reminds us that love is sometimes fickle and hearts get broken, but don\u2019t let it destroy your heart \u2014 we have to learn to move on and allow love to come into our lives again.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, all in all, lots of inspiring messages on the record, as well as some good old rock \u2018n\u2019 roll fun and \u2018Party Time!\u2019 lyrics make it a well-rounded listen!\u201d<\/p>\n

The song \u2018Beating The Odds\u2019 features a spoken-word piece by late Mot\u00f6rhead frontman Lemmy Kilmister.<\/p>\n
