Hand Me My Jetpack decide that an EP isn't enough

Two questions were running through our heads today..

1. Why haven't the The Polaroids Kidds spoke about Hand Me My Jetpack for a two whole months?
2. Where is the Jetpack's EP that we were promised?

Well well well.. news emerging from the HMMJ camp this week reveals the reasons behind the delay in their debut release and it is exciting! They have decided to skip the whole 'debut = EP' rule and go straight to a full length release. The new tracks were recorded at 301 Studios with Tim Carr last Sunday.

.. and the new tracks are ..

Overlap
Our Cars Run On Maths
Homicidal D/B
A Song About Trying'

.. in addition to ..

Fragment (Consider Revising)
Counterfeit Love
Shark, I Ate You
Dubai Cash-Up
The Best Laid Plans Of Mice

The loose release date for the album is late August/early September. The band has also assured us that they are going to try and make the release as affordable as possible. Super nice of them.

If you (still) need convincing on the awesomeness of this the Jetpack Handers then you can catch them at any of these Sydney shows in the upcoming months...

14 September - World Bar with Aleks and The Ramps
27 September - Annandale with The Saturns
