Jet Lag Gemini
Jet Lag Gemini (wn as Jet Lag or JLG) was an American rock band. Formed in 2004, they released their debut EP, Business, in the summer of 2006. Their first full-length album, "Fire the Cannons" was released on January 22, 2008. They had planned on releasing their currently untitled second album early 2010, which was rumored to be produced by Mark Hoppus of Blink 182. Between 2010 and 2011 the band was dismantled.
History
Formation And Business
Formed in 2004 in Mahwah, New Jersey, while all the band members were well under 21, Jet Lag Gemini has members from three different countries; Misha Zilman (formerly Safonov) is from Russia, Dan DiLiberto from the United States, and brothers Matei and Vlad Gheorghiu are from Romania. Their band name is not named after the Nintendo 64 video game Jet Force Gemini, as stated in a live internet chat on January 21, 2008. The band played their first show together on March 27, 2004. So far, JLG has performed with bands including The Matches, The All-American Rejects, Bayside, All Time Low, and festivals like Warped Tour with bands like Against Me, Angels and Airwaves, Billy Talent, and NOFX to name a few. Jet Lag Gemini was signed with Doghouse Records in April 2006, and debuted with an EP, Business in early June 2006. The album spawned one single, Geared For Action.
Jet lag
Jet lag, medically referred to as desynchronosis and rarely as circadian dysrhythmia, is a physiological condition which results from alterations to the body's circadian rhythms resulting from rapid long-distance transmeridian (east–west or west–east) travel on high-speed aircraft. For example, someone travelling from New York to California feels as if the time were three hours later than local time. Jet lag was previously classified as one of the circadian rhythm sleep disorders.
The condition of jet lag may last several days until one is fully adjusted to the new time zone, and a recovery rate of one day per time zone crossed is a suggested guideline. The issue of jet lag is especially pronounced for airline pilots, crew, and frequent travellers. Airlines have regulations aimed at combating pilot fatigue caused by jet lag.
The common term "jet lag" is used, because before the arrival of passenger jet aircraft, it was generally uncommon to travel far and fast enough to cause jet lag. Trips in propeller-driven aircraft and trains were slower and of more limited distance than jet flights, and thus did not contribute widely to the problem.

Critical reception
In a review in the Entertainment Weekly magazine, the song received a "B+" rating. The review commented that the song is a "surprisingly lovely pop-punk pounder about intercontinental relationships." Joe DeAndrea from Absolute Punk said that "Jet Lag is Simple Plan's first big single in a long time, almost in vein of No Pads' "I'd Do Anything." Not as rocking, but packs the same similar punch." Davey Boy from Sputnikmusic was also positive, saying that "English pop songstress Natasha Bedingfield fares best with the call and response vocals of 'Jet Lag' making for an effective radio pop-rocker that plies the oft-used theme of long-distance relationships."

Just Say How
by: Jet Lag GeminiHe said "I'm so much better"
Blue font and big bold letters
I would be lying if I said I didn't care
And no one ever got away from all the chemicals,
All the chemicals fused together
Hey now,
Come sit a little bit closer
Just say how,
You got the blisters that are on your skin
Wait now
I said a little bit closer
I want to see them clearly
Yeah, I want to see just where you've been.
These halls don't try to flatter
When filled with living matter
I would be lying if I said I liked them then
And all of you expected I would grow with all my chemicals,
