Before New Nashville was all the rage, and many, many years before our little site was even an idea, a power pop group with retro flair called Jetpack had an impressive early run, earning comparisons to fellow locals The Features (and undoubtedly influencing bands that formed soon after, like The Pink Spiders), meshing ’60s pop and rock…
