Frontman Chris Denney began writing songs in the Spring of 2008, recruiting Wes Traylor (Natural Child), and Jake and Jamin Orrall (of JEFF The Brotherhood) to be the very first of his Jets. After each member parted ways to pursue their own individual careers, Chris signed on Daniel Pujol (eponymously of PUJOL) and Joey Scala. After Pujol's departure, Denney solidified the lineup by adding longtime friend Sean Cotton on lead guitar, Joe's little brother Evan Scala and most recently bringing in Ric Alessio on keys and sax. Denney and The Jets have turned songwriting into a full realized communal process and have grown in to one of the South's finest.
After releasing a 7" single and EP (a limited Cassette only release) on JEFF The Brotherhood's Infinity Cat Recordings, the band returned with their 5-song Self-Titled EP on Miami, FL-based label Limited Fanfare Records -- Recorded in the Spring of 2012 with Producer/Engineer Andrija Tokic (Alabama Shakes, The Parting Gifts, The Ettes) -- with "Close The Blinds" recorded at Cleft Music by Nashville legend, Loney Hutchins. The result is an insanely fiery batch of tunes that Nashville Cream calls "[Straight-up rock and roll music] — not bastardized, compromised, corrupted or contaminated."
Don't miss out on your favorite new band...Seriously…

Denney and The Jets Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Heavy feet I've been walking, 'cause nothing is free
It's the end of the day, I don't hear what you say at all
Got a mouthful of concrete, in every meal
Got a fistful of nothing, 'cause nothing is real
It's the end of the day I don't know how to feel at all
You gotta understand
I got the world in my two hands
Hey man
Never goin' back, never going back
No shame
Blood in my veins
I got one life and it wont change
Hey man
Never going back, never going back
This is what I say
Come on come on
I don't need anyone
To tell me what to believe
Come on come on
Shout it out everyone
You can't tell me what to believe
Now I am a young man, I see cracks in the steel
If they ask you to stand, well they just want you to kneel
If you don't know what you want, then you just gonna have to take it all
Hey man
You gotta understand
I got the world in my two hands
Hey man
Never goin' back, never going back
This is what I say
Come on come on
I don't need anyone
To tell me what to believe
Come on come on
Shout it out everyone
You can't tell me what to believe
People say the rain's come falling down
Everyone was talking
People they were talking
Talking out the side of their mouths
People they were talking
Talking out the side of their mouths
Come on come on
I don't need anyone
To tell me what to believe
Come on come on
Shout it out everyone
You can't tell me what to believe
You can't tell me what to, tell me what to believe.
The lyrics in Denney and The Jets's "Come On" speak about life's realities and the determination to overcome them. The lines "Got my hands in your pockets, I'll take what I need, Heavy feet I've been walking, 'cause nothing is free" suggest that the singer is living in a tough world where monetary benefits are hard to come by. The next line, "It's the end of the day, I don't hear what you say at all," in connection with these lines could possibly denote the disillusionment that comes with the life of a hustler, where one is forced to live outside societal norms.
The chorus of the song, "Come on come on, I don't need anyone to tell me what to believe/Shout it out everyone, you can't tell me what to believe," speaks about the singer's defiance of societal expectations and the efforts to carve out their lane in life. The lines "Now I am a young man, I see cracks in the steel/If they ask you to stand, well they just want you to kneel/If you don't know what you want, then you just gonna have to take it all" tie in perfectly with what has been mentioned earlier. The singer has opened their eyes to the less than perfect nature of society and extols taking control of one's life and dreams.
The song's chorus is the catchiest part of the song and serves as an anthem of freedom from societal expectations. It suggests that people should be allowed to carve out their own path, without societal friction.

Those in power often request compliance from others to maintain and expand their control
If you don't know what you want, then you just gonna have to take it all
If you are unsure of your desires, you will end up acquiring everything that comes your way
People say the rain's come falling down
Many are saying that difficult times are upon us
Everyone was talking
Others are all expressing their opinions
Talking out the side of their mouths
Their words are insincere or deceitful
You can't tell me what to, tell me what to believe.
I am adamant that nobody can impose their beliefs onto me
