Introducing arnold jackson: an original rock band in an era when original rock bands don’t really exist outside of their bedrooms and Pitchfork Media. arnold jackson exists in part to take back the airwaves from nu metal bands and models who just happen to make music (if just for fifteen minutes) and annoy MTV-culture clones the way that Sonic Youth and the Pixies used to do before the 100% video featured cool skater kids having fun and everyone forgot that once upon a time Master-Dik made us pee our pants. To be what "alternative music" was before it was a popular misnomer.

When used properly, this powerful voice lesson/warm up/exercise routine will help you:

  • SCREAM louder and stronger
  • STRENGTHEN your singing voice
  • GROWL with gruffness and character
  • WARM-UP your voice to avoid damaging it

About the Author:
arnold jackson started in 2000 playing music in graduate student housing on the south side of Chicago. Brother and sister-duo Black Bryson and Kim Drummond went to a Kill Rock Stars show starring Sleater-Kinney and the Gossip in late 1999 and decided they needed to start killing rock stars toute suite. They recruited their friend Shoaf for this purpose, and arnold jackson was born. They played ‘Monkey Gone to Heaven’ over and over again and a few original songs for their friends in their Hyde Park apartments, and did so for a little over a year.

Kim Drummond left the band for Hollywood, CA in August 2001 and was replaced by their mutual friend James Spence, a classical guitarist with an ear for indie rock and Led Zeppelin.

arnold jackson recorded their first demo at Superior Street, a rehearsal studio they transformed into a recording studio with help of local engineer Mark E. Greene. These demos became the basis of their first studio release, the Black Arts EP, recorded at Creative Universe in Chicago, February 2002.

For the next year and a half, arnold jackson played many shows in Chicago in support of the EP, in which they developed the songs that would become their first full-length, GO! CITY. From the beginning, their only real goal as a band was to play their favorite venue the Empty Bottle, in which they had seen favorites such as Guided by Voices and White Stripes play. They realized this goal in January of 2003, and again in August of the same year.

GO! CITY was recorded at Stray Dog Recording Studios in the first half of 2004 and was released on Record High Records on April 1, 2005. It contains 12 songs about magic and loss in the city of Big Shoulders and broken backs.

arnold jackson still love the music and secretly have a proletarian dream of taking it back from your brother-in-law and the A&R bobbleheads who feed him. They’re currently in the studio tracking their last album, The world is ugly and the people are sad, for a late summer 2005 release.
