Jackson analogue are a garage rock band from England
Formed in 2004, The Jackson Analogue are a five piece rock band who in their short but illustrious career so far has seen them sign to a major record label, leave a major record label, license their debut album around the world and are now getting read to release their second self recorded and produced album "Half Way Home".
A Brief History
Early 2005 the band self release their first 7" "Band on a Hill". After receiving plays on BBC Radio 1, BBC Radio 2, XFM and many specialist shows the record labels come knocking and after their first sell out gig at Ryde Castle on the Isle of Wight, and after much bidding the band sign with Island Records.
They then proceed to start recording on their debut album, which they finished late 2005 and everything is ready to start in late 2006.
2006 starts off promising with UK tours, storming performances at SXSW and support tours with The Fratellis. But with delays on the album being released, the Band and its management decide to leave Island Records and walk away with the album under their arms and a bunch of new songs were recorded they set about getting things in place to self release their debut album.
Early 2007, they have licence deals in every territory worldwide and release the record to worldwide critical acclaim and support dates with The Who. Their brand of the traditional rock/blues/soul sound draws slight comparisons to the genres finest and as soon as tours are finished, promotion is put to bed. The Band start pooling together the new songs they have been working on and set about working on the ideas they have for Album 2.
November 2007 recording begins on Album number 2. The brothers have decided to write, record, arrange and produce the album all on their own at their studio Luka. The Album takes five weeks start to finish.
They enjoyed the Christmas holidays and in January 2008 begin the process of mixing the record and in February 2008 go to Abbey Road to master what will be Album 2.
