From the pit of your stomach, you can feel the small semblance of a rebirth. A reinvention. For Jamison Covington, the dark eyes and sharp mind behind E For Explosion, this collection of shoe gaze and new wave inspired songs, is a rebirth in almost every way. In another life, Jamison Covington was the unwilling hero of the warped tour set, signing a major label deal at the age of 18, as one half of JamisonParker. Now years later, free from major label entanglements, Jamison has begun making the music that speaks to him with a crystalline certainty. "From writing the songs and fine tuning tones to engineering and production, there's not a part of the writing or recording process that I don't completely immerse myself in....honestly, I'm completely at ease with being a control freak."<br /><br />Immediately after signing with NJ indie label Eyeball Records, Jamison made his way to Silver Lake, California and recorded his independent debut, Reinventing The Heartbeat with Dave Trumfio (Earlimart, Grandaddy, Billy Bragg & Wilco, My Morning Jacket, etc). At times quiet and subtle and at others tumultuous and brooding, Heartbeat is filled with plaintive requests for understand and reconciliation. Building his towering soundscapes upon the likes of My Bloody Valentine and The Jesus & Mary Chain, E for Explosion aims to cast a new shadow that reaches far beyond that of his previous sucesses.<br /><br />Having toured with everyone from Plain White T's, to Motion City Soundtrack, to Coheed & Cambria and others, Jamison has traveled the country and made more friends and fans than one could ever hope to in a lifetime. He's sold over 30,000 records throughout the US and been featured on countless press and television outlets. But with E For Explosion, a rebirth means bringing his friends and fans to a new life with him as years of songwriting, recording and performing has finally come to fruition. http://www.imeem.com/eforexplosion Delta 0 http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss E For Explosion http://www.imeem.com/eforexplosion/video/5vjoXGEh/e-for-explosion-you-know-who-you-are-live-music-video/ Wed, 20 Aug 2008 19:57:21 -0000 <div><a href="http://www.imeem.com/eforexplosion/video/5vjoXGEh/e-for-explosion-you-know-who-you-are-live-music-video/"><img width="100" height="56" border="0" src="http://srv0204-03.sjc3.imeem.com/g/v/c4749efe01e03973b689bbf19680dc77_00010.jpg" title="Click to play this video"/></a></div> t2YIx4vZ7x <b>With: Rediscover, City Lights, The Hint</b><br />08.17.08 - West Chester, PA - Union Ramp<br />08.19.08 - Shamokin, PA - Tuesday Tunes<br />08.23.08 - Toledo, OH - Headliners<br />08.24.08 - Fort Wayne, IN - MISS Q’s Live Music Complex <br />08.26.08 - Lansing, MI - Macs Bar<br />08.27.08 - Southgate, MI - Modern Exchange<br />08.28.08 - Cleveland, OH - Peabody's<br />08.30.08 - Columbus, OH - The Basement<br /><br /><b>With: Pompeii (Eyeball Records), The Send (Tooth & Nail)</b><br />09.12.08 - Grand Junction, CO - Mesa Theater & Club<br />09.13.08 - Ogden, UT - Club Boom Va<br />09.15.08 - Sacramento, CA - The Upstairs<br />09.17.08 - Roseville, CA - The Anchor <br />09.18.08 - Victorville, CA - Karma<br />09.19.08 - Scottsdale, AZ - Chyro Arts<br />09.21.08 - San Antonio, TX - The Warhol<br />09.26.08 - Nashville, TN - The Anchor<br /><br /><b>SEE YOU THERE???</b><br />*more dates coming soon<a href="http://www.imeem.com/tag/hint" rel="tag"></a><a href="http://www.imeem.com/tag/for" rel="tag"></a><a href="http://www.imeem.com/tag/city" rel="tag"></a><a href="http://www.imeem.com/tag/rediscover" rel="tag"></a><a href="http://www.imeem.com/tag/explosion" rel="tag"></a><a href="http://www.imeem.com/tag/lights" rel="tag"></a><a href="http://www.imeem.com/tag/send" rel="tag"></a><a href="http://www.imeem.com/tag/pompeii" rel="tag"></a><a href="http://www.imeem.com/tag/the" rel="tag"></a><a href="http://www.imeem.com/tag/shows" rel="tag"></a> E For Explosion Tour Blog http://www.imeem.com/eforexplosion/blogs/2008/08/07/g0fa2VZF/upcoming-tour-dates-west-coast-added Thu, 07 Aug 2008 20:51:22 -0000 bnJ4wNPLNj E For Explosion http://www.imeem.com/eforexplosion/music/h6kC_jJr/e-for-explosion-whatever-b-side/ Sat, 19 Jul 2008 19:08:30 -0000 <div><a href="http://www.imeem.com/eforexplosion/music/h6kC_jJr/e-for-explosion-whatever-b-side/"><img border="0" src="http://icons-p2.imeem.com/h6kC_jJr.jpg" title="Click to play this song"/></a></div> 5xlJIbNeZY Let me give you a run down of the tour thus far... in the past seven days one member of our band punched another member in the face, we stayed in a haunted bed & breakfast, i believe i may have gotten slight food poisoning from mcdonalds (although i must admit that my stomach is so wrecked that i get indigestion from eating tums), and I've had my love of sleeping in parking lots rekindled. I feel that most of the hours of the days that make up life now are spent floating so in honor of this sensation (and in my defense) i'll close with this quote....<br /><br />"Not all who wander are lost...."<br /><br />-jamison<a href="http://www.imeem.com/tag/tour" rel="tag"></a><a href="http://www.imeem.com/tag/for" rel="tag"></a><a href="http://www.imeem.com/tag/explosion" rel="tag"></a><a href="http://www.imeem.com/tag/jamisonparker" rel="tag"></a><a href="http://www.imeem.com/tag/jamison" rel="tag"></a><a href="http://www.imeem.com/tag/blog" rel="tag"></a> E For Explosion Tour Blog http://www.imeem.com/eforexplosion/blogs/2008/07/19/Kjh41Gy6/here-we-go Sat, 19 Jul 2008 19:01:08 -0000 KjaHv9pL8m E For Explosion http://www.imeem.com/eforexplosion/video/ncXxkaqh/e-for-explosion-i-explode-music-video/ Tue, 15 Jul 2008 01:58:33 -0000 <div><a href="http://www.imeem.com/eforexplosion/video/ncXxkaqh/e-for-explosion-i-explode-music-video/"><img width="100" height="75" border="0" src="http://srv0204-03.sjc3.imeem.com/g/v/7ced8e3d703f40713505676183d99ed1_00010.jpg" title="Click to play this video"/></a></div> v7uyBHNigW E For Explosion E For Explosion - Reinventing The Heartbeat http://www.imeem.com/eforexplosion/playlist/IaBNm5yB/e-for-explosion-reinventing-the-heartbeat-music-playlist/ Tue, 15 Jul 2008 01:46:36 -0000 wd56cVv4t4 E For Explosion http://www.imeem.com/eforexplosion/music/ZImKpc25/e-for-explosion-saving-lives/ Tue, 15 Jul 2008 01:43:14 -0000 <div><a href="http://www.imeem.com/eforexplosion/music/ZImKpc25/e-for-explosion-saving-lives/"><img border="0" src="http://icons-p1.imeem.com/ZImKpc25.jpg" title="Click to play this song"/></a></div> fsJde6jQxs E For Explosion http://www.imeem.com/eforexplosion/music/5kVYGU0R/e-for-explosion-i-aint-lost-if-im-with-you/ Tue, 15 Jul 2008 01:43:14 -0000 <div><a href="http://www.imeem.com/eforexplosion/music/5kVYGU0R/e-for-explosion-i-aint-lost-if-im-with-you/"><img border="0" src="http://icons-p3.imeem.com/5kVYGU0R.jpg" title="Click to play this song"/></a></div> 42Uu1uMpAz E For Explosion http://www.imeem.com/eforexplosion/music/XZXTl-wq/e-for-explosion-antarctica/ Tue, 15 Jul 2008 01:43:12 -0000 <div><a href="http://www.imeem.com/eforexplosion/music/XZXTl-wq/e-for-explosion-antarctica/"><img border="0" src="http://icons-p3.imeem.com/XZXTl-wq.jpg" title="Click to play this song"/></a></div> DELT-UyGle E For Explosion http://www.imeem.com/eforexplosion/music/v2RKSaG2/e-for-explosion-unit-402/ Tue, 15 Jul 2008 01:43:11 -0000 <div><a href="http://www.imeem.com/eforexplosion/music/v2RKSaG2/e-for-explosion-unit-402/"><img border="0" src="http://icons-p1.imeem.com/v2RKSaG2.jpg" title="Click to play this song"/></a></div> VsVgkTXnfI
