Jameson is a band that I remember seeing back in the day at The Whiskey in Hollywood multiple times pulling in huge crowds with the upbeat energy. Formed in Hollywood, California in February of 2006, Jameson’s very first EP, Keep the Change had fans hailing them as, “One of the best metal bands to come out of southern California in over a decade!” Jameson has five members influenced by heavy metal, blues, jazz, classic/southern rock, grunge and even hip-hop.
The genesis of Jameson began when Ryan Dial (guitar) and Dan Ranada (guitar) met at the Musicians Institute in Hollywood, California. Before long, Jason Brennan, Dan’s roommate and a bass student at MI, began jamming with them. The trio wrote the riffs that would become Keep the Change, Jameson’s first EP. Fortuitously, Matt Bomb, a singer from the New Jersey metal scene exploded on the L.A. landscape and caught the band’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.
The group uses a unique writing technique. They utilize a guitar-driven writing style. The group produce metal that’s abrasive and fast, with a groove that can grab hold of any fan, anytime, anywhere. Now, this quintet of trained musicians brings a high level of professionalism, consistency and energy to their live shows at clubs like The Whiskey A Go-Go in West Hollywood and the Joint in Los Angeles, giving their audience a once-in-a-lifetime experience each and every time they perform.
