Biografia

Jackson United is an American punk rock band formed by singer and guitarist Chris Shiflett in 2003. Shiflett recruited his older brother Scott Shiflett (bass) and Pete Parada (drums) to complete the band. A debut eponymous EP was recorded and released in 2003. Shortly after this release Parada left the band. He was replaced by Cary Lascala, and the group was then further expanded with the addition of a second guitarist, Doug Sangalang.

Scott Shiflett left the band in 2004, replaced by Omen Starr. The band released its first full length album, Western Ballads in 2004. After touring Lascala and Starr departed, and Scott then returned to band in 2005. 2008 saw the release of their second full length album, Harmony And Dissidence. As the band were without a drummer at the time, Foo Fighters bandmate Dave Grohl offered Chris his services, along with fellow bandmate Taylor Hawkins.
