Mike Park of Asian Man Records has announced that his label will release the next Andrew Jackson Jihad record “Knife Man” on September 20th this year.
Andrew Jackson Jihad are a folk-punk/anti folk duo from Phoenix, Arizona. The band consists of singer/guitarist/songwriter Sean Bonnette and upright-bass/backup vocalist Ben Gallaty. The band have been rising steadily in popularity over the last couple of years and look ready to hit the big time with a support slot on Frank Turner‘s US tour this fall.
In the email update from Asian Man Mike Park released the following information he had gleaned from a phone call with Sean.
“This album deals a lot with living in Phoenix, AZ. This is the longest album to date clocking in at over 40 minutes. 16 songs total. A bunch of great Phoenix musicians add their talents including: Owen Evans from ROAR, Preston Bryant from DOTH, Steven Steinbrink from FRENCH QUARTER, & Shane Kennedy from GO BIG CASINO. Recorded in East Mesa at audioconfusion studios by jalipaz.”
Their last full-length album “Can’t Maintain” was released in 2009, also on Asian Man Records, but the band have released a couple of splits since then including this year’s split 9″ with Toronto’s O Pioneers!! on No Idea Records.
If you aren’t already stoked you definitely should be.
