Andrew Jackson Jihad
People That Can Eat People Are the Luckiest People in the World

I would like to be brief and concise, as it should be.

The Andrew Jackson Jihad is a band, I didn’t know that, and I don’t know who this Andrew Jackson they reference is, nor do I know if Jihad is actually part of his name or if he intends to sacrifice his earthly life in the name of the Islamic cause. But honestly, I don't really care.

Sean Bonette and Ben Gallaty play guitar and double bass, and behind them, there is an entire little orchestra striving to carry on a continuous and almost unstoppable, frantic race that takes us from “Rejoice” to “People,” through eleven noisy, out of tune, disheartened, breathless, ironic little songs about the mess that life is and the infinite joy this mess can provoke in people (“Rejoice despite the fact this world will kill you”), all somewhere between oblique and tipsy folk and bedroom punk. Twenty-five minutes.

Living is the best way to die.
