Have you ever heard of the bands… FOO FIGHTERS, FACE TO FACE, or NO USE FOR A NAME???…. well maybe you have maybe you haven’t… If you haven’t you have definitely missed out on nearly a decade of AMAZING punk/ rock music. I highly suggest you run out and pick up some of those bands albums ASAP… but if you don’t have the money or time to do that… you now have the opportunity to listen to the best of those bands wrapped up into one…..JACKSON UNITED.

The other day we had the opportunity to follow the SHIZ (Mark), and the rest of the crew at Anthem Productions, as they produced JACKSON UNITED’s video for “21st Century Fight Song” at the FOO FIGHTERS STUDIO in Northridge.

I am not sure if you have ever seen what all goes down in order to shoot a music video…but lets just put it this way..at the MINIMUM its 24hrs of straight work.

We started the day off in the early morning at the studio… and since things were still moving a little slow in the studio that gave us a chance to look around and take some photos…

Wall of NIRVANA

Eventually things started to pick up outside and it was time for Chris (Jackson United’s front man) to get is bad ass biker shots…

Sometimes you need the rest of your band to help you look like you’re going fast!!!

After all the shooting outside got wrapped up… we headed inside the studio for some good ol fashion AMERICANA fun!! Courtesy of one giant ass American flag…

Before we knew it … the set was ready to shoot

But first it was time for a LUNCH BREAK!!

Sometimes testing the lighting can be a really gay affair

The choice of champions

The band started to warm up inside the studio

Two brothers getting ready to ROCK!!

Then it was time to play the track and watch the guys ROCK-SYNCH

After the group shot..it became time for the solo shots..

While the filming was going on outside…. the SHIZ made sure to squeeze in a video interview with Chris..

After the quick interview we headed back out to the shoot… for some infamous dolly shots…

After all the Dolly shots were done… it was time to wrap the video and call it a day..

Here is the UNOFFICIAL youtube video of the 21ST CENTURY FIGHT SONG…. look for the OFFICIAL release on FUSE/ MTV/ coming soon. (damn dirty apes)
