Andrew Jackson Jihad

American folk‑punk band led by vocalist/guitarist Sean Bonnette and bassist Ben Gallaty, known for acerbic, autobiographical lyrics and a mix of acoustic and punk sounds.

Formed in Phoenix, Arizona; core members include Sean Bonnette (vocals/guitar) and Ben Gallaty (double bass). The band later abbreviated its name to AJJ (name change publicly announced in 2016).

A selection of appreciative, often ironic reviews focusing on AJJ's blend of acoustic folk and punk energy, blunt social critique, and frank, sometimes darkly comic lyrics. Reviewers highlight Sean Bonnette's voice and songwriting, recurring themes of loneliness and misanthropy, and notable albums like Knife Man and Christmas Island.

For:Listeners of folk-punk, acoustic punk, fans of literate dark-humor songwriting and socially aware indie music.
