Andrew Jackson’s Video “Another Day of Misery”

andrewjackson. is the brainchild of J. Andrew — a Toronto-born songwriter who began playing guitar at the age of twelve and writing songs as a teenager. Being exposed to a collection of essential music from a young age, J developed a deep passion for albums that inspired him towards a career in music. With influences ranging from classic rock to eighties electronic, Mozart to Albert King, and James Brown to Jeff Buckley, his eclecticism and life experiences have solidified into a strong debut LP, entitled Feral Familiar.
“I’m the youngest in my family, and growing up in the eighties exposed me to a lot of great music,” says J. “There was music playing constantly in the house, and we had so many cool records. My favorite was The Cult’s Electric. I’m also heavily influenced by early rock n’ roll, especially Chuck Berry, I mean who isn’t? I play the same guitar he did.”

All fifteen tracks on Feral Familiar are original and written by J himself. He describes his writing process as being “completely different for each song”: the track “Mother Nature” was composed inside of his head while his strumming arm was in a sling, “Eugene Nixon” is the result of piecing together sounds and ideas that had accumulated on his pocket recorder, and “Hold On” was written in a flash while sitting with his guitar looking out at the rain. Also a painter, J compares songwriting to his other passion: “When you paint, you slowly add layers until the work finds its form. Songwriting, for me, is a very similar process”

Those layers have a unique sonic presence on Feral Familiar, which was recorded live off the floor between Iguana Studios in Toronto and The Factory in Vancouver. J worked with notable producer John Nazario (Nelly Furtado, Jack Johnson, The Tea Party) to help bring his vision of a crusading rock record to life. The result is a debut that encapsulates the themes of freedom, revolt and spirituality, while impugning the political climate of West. Energetic and urgent, Feral Familiar has a raw, almost vintage production reminiscent of The White Stripes.

J’s interest in world politics and the history of civilizations have prompted trips to Europe, Indonesia, Thailand (where he rocked a very inspired solo version of “Mother Nature” during an open stage), Mexico and South America. He says, “it’s interesting to see how other cultures live and where the modern world took its cues. I remember being overwhelmed by an intense spiritual energy while exploring the Aztec Pyramids and gazing into a massive ancient burial pit. I then felt a sort of capitalistic irony when I turned around and walked twenty feet to buy a popsicle. People are brainwashed into being apathetic about politics and it’s unfortunate because you can’t just run from it, it turns up everywhere.” It was during his travels that J had a vision to transpose these feelings and create a legendary rock record filled with political assessment and insight.

Returning to Ontario in early 2009, J wrote a handful of new songs while staying alone in a cabin on the frozen barrenness of Georgian Bay. During those few weeks of solitude he conceived of his new songs (“Eugene Nixon,” “Enough Blood To Keep ‘Em Coming,” “Another Day Of Misery’” and “Big Baby”) as the core of the album. With their politically charged lyrics and radio friendly melodies, this was an easy choice. Together, the songs – and four well placed interludes – flow seamlessly from the start of the record to the end, much like some of the great rock records of the seventies. Feral Familiar is an awakening journey, a lucid behind the scenes look at the struggles between freedom and corruption within our species. Hidden within the wordplay, surging guitars and driving rhythms, there lies a combination to unlock minds and inspire a new philosophy.

“If there is one thing I would like my music to do for the listener…it would be to inspire action.”

New Artist: jp wellington

We are two people living in different parts of the country joined by a common purpose. We express that purpose through hip hop because as an art form, it gives us the freedom that we seek.

We believe absolutely in individual freedom and personal responsibility. We believe that human beings are divine children of the Universe and that we have the capacity for amazing spiritual development. We believe that certain groups on this planet are determined to separate us as a race from this divine existence and lock us into a consumerist slave existence at the service of corporations and governments.

We believe that this will become common knowledge in the future and that humanity will eventually shake off the tyranny that has plagued us for thousands of years. This will not be a violent process. We will simply realize our true nature and stop following orders from maniacal control freaks. Some of us are already doing this.
