Marc Valentine releases video for hook-heady powerpop single You are the jet
Marc Valentine has released the music video for his latest single “You Are The Jet,” a punchy blast of power-pop packed with fuzz-driven guitars, soaring harmonies, and an instantly addictive chorus. Produced by Dave Draper, (The Wildhearts) the track channels classic melodic rock energy while showcasing Valentine’s sharp songwriting and irresistible hooks. Energetic, uplifting, and built for repeat plays, “You Are The Jet” is a bold reminder of why Marc Valentine remains one of the most exciting voices in modern power-pop.

"You Are The Jet" is Marc Valentine’s first release since 2024’s critically acclaimed album, ‘Basement Sparks’, which was also on Little Steven’s Wicked Cool label.
Based in the UK, Marc has been touring extensively over the last two years, including shows in the USA and all over Europe, whilst also writing and recording a stack of new songs for the next album (scheduled for 2026).
Marc says:
"‘I wrote most of ‘You are the Jet’ while stuck in a traffic jam, staring at the back of a large garbage truck. The actually recording process happened pretty quickly too - we had great fun laying down this track. I think it’s one of those songs that are sometimes sitting there in the dark, just waiting to be written. It has quite a simple main hook really, but it also has a real positive message..like a beacon through adversity."
Upcoming shows:
Monday 15 December - Hope & Anchor, London (w/ Continental Lovers & Electrics)
Friday 19 December - Grey Seal, Cromer (w/ Lassie)
