Pukkajet Biography

pukkajet
  • Years Active: 2000s
  • Genre: Rock & Alternative

Formed in the mid-'90s, the British indie rock band Pukkajet features the talents of two singer/songwriters, Dave Stewart and Matthew Barwick. Drawing easy comparisons to bands such as the Wedding Present and the Pastels, the duo released two debut solo recordings, the Stewart-helmed Making Sense Out of Rubbish and Barwick-led Love Is Poison, both under the Pukkajet name. Gigs followed and Stewart eventually released another "solo" Pukkajet project, All Aboard Skylark. Finally, in 2000 both members shared songwriting duties on the band-recorded album Popstars. Three years later they got together again for the full-length Pop Cycle and the "odds 'n' sods" companion album Pop Cycle Repair Kit, both released on LittleSqueak Records. ~ Matt Collar, Rovi
