Portland, Oregon’s Jet Force Gemini takes the modern rock foundation and adds a distinctively explosive touch. The four man group, consisting of members Michael Christopher, Roman Bilko, Paul Richey, and Tim Riva have created a style that is both familiar yet uniquely their own. With roller coaster crescendos of discordant growls to nuanced harmonies from singer Michael Christopher, the band produces seemingly chaotic yet measured melodies. The distinctive leads and rapid fire solos from guitarist Roman Bilko are played with reverence towards greats like Marty Friedman of Megadeth and Brian May of Queen and reaffirm that powerful rock guitar can thrive in modern music. Drummer Paul Richey seamlessly shifts between driving power rock percussion and intricate pop rock layers. Their live show, a high energy performance highlighted by hip hop dance moves and throwback hair metal group poses is led by bassist Tim Riva, whose unabashed devil-may-care attitude and reckless abandon present a physical expression of their explosive sound.
With their first full length album in the works, Jet Force Gemini continues to thrash through the Northwest music scene. Their unapologetic, dangerous style of music and their dynamic live shows bring an entertaining mix of classic rock n roll love with modern rock melodies.
