’A’ - 1995-2005

’A’ was formed in 1995, with Giles Perry joining as keyboard player. The band moved away from their prog rock days with a much bore brattish sound, mixing the energy of Ash, the melody of The Beach Boys, the pop sensibilities of Van Halen and the attitude of The Beastie Boys. At the time Jason had a job creating music for TV ads. He bought a studio, which he also used to produce some demos for the band. ’A’ landed a deal with London Records in 1996, and released records under their own "Tycoon Records" subsidiary. In 1997 they recorded their debut album How Ace Are Buildings over three months in California. Jason co-produced the album with Thom Wilson, most famous for producing The Offspring's "Smash". ’A’ began to build up a loyal following in the UK, touring with the likes of The Sex Pistols, Jesus Jones and their heroes Faith No More. After the album was released, bassist Stevie Swindon parted ways with the band and was replaced by their friend and satanist Daniel P Carter. In 1998 How Ace Are Buildings was re-released on ltd edition vinyl, with a bonus record featuring live tracks, remixes, clips from interviews, answering machine messages and general silliness.

’A’ returned with a four night residency at the Metro Club in London, followed by a tour of Germany and a 19 date UK tour. First single "Rush Song" was released in May, but due to their two year absence, coupled with the re-emergence of britpop, with bands such as Kaiser Chiefs and Franz Ferdinand dominating the airwaves, the single inevitably received very little airplay, TV coverage or press, as well as little promotion from their label. The single entered the charts at number 35, giving them a fourth top 40 hit. The album Teen Dance Ordinance was finally released on July 18, 2005. The album was well received amongst fans, and received positive reviews in the press. The band made a main stage appearance at the Download Festival in the UK, did a few dates with Avril Lavigne in Germany, and played their first ever acoustic gig, which was broadcast live on the internet.
