Released in the US in 1990 on Wonderland Records, this is the duo's debut full-length album.
Gomér wanted to create something fresh and different and told "The whole idea was to dig inside instead of looking at others." Experimenting and having fun was high priority. As a result, the two came up with the creative "hybrid-form" of funky groove-laden hard rock – found on the Sony Epic 1991, US debut release for Jet Circus, Step On It.
Jet Circus landed an endorsement deal from Harley-Davidson in time for the American release "Step On It." Perhaps Derek Oliver of British Kerrang! said at the time: "Jet Circus is the best band I've heard to come out of Scandinavia – this band is brilliant."
With the 1991 US radio hit song "Victory Dance", Jet Circus were amongst the first to experiment with metal and rap, which later on led them to be mentioned in the media as grandfathers for bands like Limp Bizkit and Linkin Park. Ez Gomér replied: "That's fine with me as long as I don't have to retire".
In time for their first US tour, Jet Circus went No1 on the CCM radio chart with "Break This Jail" and were airplayed somewhere in the States every twenty minutes for almost a year with songs like "Victory Dance", "Rockin Horse", "Jet Blue", "Step On It" and "Break This Jail" – which also went on to be "Metal song of the year" on CCM.

Reviews For "Step On It"


by metalbasscop on 3/30/2012

Super catchy ditty’s all over this record. These boys aren’t afraid to have a little fun with the lyrics and the music sounds free and effortless. Put the pedal to the metal on “Break this Jail”, and “Step On It” what a great driving tunes! A real fun listen with plenty of gritty distortion.
Raunchy, dirty, grinding, rockin’ bass lines to boot! "You know, God loves the Bass Guitar...."
