Jackson United is an American punk rock band, formed by singer and lead guitarist Chris Shiflett in 2003.

Chris Shiflett, more famously known as Foo Fighters and Me First and the Gimme Gimmes guitarist, formed the band as his own side project after years of playing a supporting role in other songwriters' successes, and had the desire to release material he had written on his own.

Shortly after the debut EP release Parada left the band due to his full-time commitment as the then-drummer of Saves The Day.

The album was composed of songs recorded during the sessions for the debut EP, and as such did not feature any contribution by current members Sangalang, Lascala or Starr, although the trio were thanked prominently in the liner notes.

Following the touring in support of the album the band entered a long period of inactivity, mainly due to Shiflett's commitments with the Foo Fighters.

Still without a full-time drummer, Foo Fighters bandmates Dave Grohl and Taylor Hawkins were revealed to be sharing the drumming work.
