Redjetson are a UK based post-rock band who have been influenced by a diverse selection of bands including Interpol, Slint, Radiohead, Joy Division, Explosions in the Sky, My Bloody Valentine, Sigur Ros, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, The Doors & Mogwai.

In 2002 they released a self titled single on Steinbeck Records. They followed this up with a second release in 2003, again on Steinbeck Records. During 2004 the band toured extensivly including a tour with Youthmovie Soundtrack Strategies, whom they released a split 12" with on the Drowned In Sound Recordings Label. In January 2005 they released the album New General Catalogue on Drowned in Sound Recordings. The album collected the two songs from the previous split 12" along with a further nine songs including re-recordings of songs featured on their first two releases. They followed the album with a single of 'This, Every Day, For The Rest Of Your Life'. This also included making a music video. It was directed by Paul Gore [1] who had previously worked with Snow Patrol and has on to direct for Massive Attack. The band finished off 2005 by supporting Bloc Party at Brixton Academy and Forward Russia on several dates around the UK. By April 2006 the album had recived a European release on the Talitres label and the band followed this up with a tour with Leeds based band ILiKETRAiNS. The band played a handful of gigs demoing new songs. They also supported Hope Of The States at Koko, played the Truck Festival in Oxford and went on a mini tour of Ireland.

The band are currently writing material for a second album and are planning to release a new AA single in the later half of 2006.
