About this album

Jon Astley’s Everyone Loves The Pilot (Except The Crew) is a sharp, well-crafted slice of late-1980s new wave-pop. Released in 1987, the album pairs polished production with tight songwriting, balancing bright melodies, clipped guitar lines and a confident sense of rhythm. Best known for the punchy single “Jane’s Getting Serious”, Astley’s record sits comfortably between rock and pop, with the kind of clean, radio-ready sound that defined much of the era’s more accessible new wave. It stands as a strong example of British pop-rock craftsmanship from the period, driven by hooks rather than excess.
