Formed in Hollywood, California, in February of 2006, Jameson’s new full-length album “Down For The Count” has been described as “Jaw Dropping”, and “A breath of fresh air for the metal scene”. Jameson has five members (ages 21-24) influenced by heavy metal, blues, jazz, classic/southern rock, grunge and even hip-hop. The genesis of Jameson began when lifelong friends Dan Ranada (guitar) and Jason Brennan (bass) attended the Musicians Institute in Hollywood, California. They began jamming with fellow M.I. student, Ryan Dial (guitar) and developed the riffs that would become "Keep the Change". Fortuitously, Matt Bomb, a singer from the New Jersey metal scene exploded on the L.A. landscape and the concussion caught the trio's attention. Matt's lyrics and vocals kicked it up a notch. Matt introduced the band to his roommate and M.I. percussion student, Chad Keith. Chad's solid, high-speed, but most of all violent drumming technique gave Jameson the groove that took them to the next level. Dial left Jameson in the spring of 2007. Within weeks, new band member and M.I. graduate Ben Robbins' guitar stylings fused with Jameson. With a solid line-up in place, they hit the practice studio and wrote the songs which became "Down For The Count". "We have utilized a guitar-driven writing style right up front," said Dan. Once a good riff is in place, all of the members write their parts for the band. "It's a style that works for us. We produce metal that's abrasive and fast, with a groove that can grab hold of any fan, anytime, anywhere." With an EP, a spot on the 2007 Vans Warped Tour and a brand new album to fuel their fan-base, Jameson is hitting the L.A. scene and beyond with their own brand of epic, rock-your-a**-off groove metal.
