Cool name right? I discovered Andrew Jackson Jihad in the fall and they really stood out against anything else I had ever heard. Formed in 2004 in Arizona, AJJ is composed of guitarist Sean Bonnette and bassist Ben Gallaty. They are known for playing drunken spur of the moment performances in a crowd of equally intoxicated students, and even parking lots. They sing incredibly offensive and original songs about laughing at retards, serial killers, and a God whose arms are burning witches. To date they have released 2 full albums, numerous EPs and splits with other bands. One of my favorite songs (people II: the reckoning) ends with a verse that mocks "mrs. Robinson." Other great songs are "I Love You" and "Rejoice." They even have an interesting cover of "two headed boy" on their myspace page. I'll put a song in the playlist to the right. But check these guys out, you will not be disappointed.

I've heard them before! They are pretty ridiculous, but I had no idea they covered Two-Headed Boy. That's badass.
