Andrew Jackson Jihad is an American folk/punk/rock group from Phoenix, Arizona, formed in 2004. They have been classified as everything from indie rock to anti-folk to Americana.
Andrew Jackson Jihad was formed after its original drummer, Justin James White, approached Sean Bonnette and Ben Gallaty, who had just left Rodan (not the Rodan of Kentucky fame) and The Sub-Standards. Since then, many significant Arizona musicians have sat in with the remaining duo of Sean and Ben, including John De La Cruz of Fatigo and Asleep In The Sea’s Owen Evans. Dylan Cook also plays mandolin regularly with the band.
Andrew Jackson Jihad has obtained much coverage for their songs about “serial killers, cigarettes, child abuse, and a vengeful Jesus” [1]. They were also the subject of controversy within HeartattaCk regarding their “Love Song,” which is narrated by a character who “smoke(s) crystal meth” and “laugh(s) at retards.” (crazy, amiright?)
Their fanbase is noted to be particularly loyal and fervent, singing along to every song even when the vocals drop out. [2]
On Halloween 2005, Andrew Jackson Jihad covered Neutral Milk Hotel’s In the Aeroplane Over the Sea album in its entirety at CounterCulture Cafe.
Their biggest performance to date has been in their hometown with Flogging Molly and Authority Zero on Saint Patrick’s Day 2006.
On April 15, 2006, the band played as part of the 2006 New Times Music Showcase, nominated for Best Americana Band, and won a 2006 Best of Phoenix later that year.

LoveThe90s loves the 90s therefore his point is not valid because he only loves the 90s and AJJ was formed in the 2000's. But LoveThe90s is way too cool for the 2000's.

quite a lot missing in their Top Albums. :( [to follow the fad: LoveThe90s is clearly disliked by the folks here but they're being sarcastic for the humorous touch. In case you couldn't tell.] I win.
