Elton Motello was a late-1970s new wave and punk artist best known for the cult hit “Jet Boy, Jet Girl,” a raw, rebellious anthem that captured the edgy spirit of the era. Fronted by Alan Ward, the project blended punk’s gritty energy with a melodic, synth-infused sensibility that foreshadowed the coming wave of post-punk and new wave sounds. Though short-lived, Elton Motello’s work remains a defining snapshot of punk’s evolution and its influence on modern alternative music.
