ENATION are an alternative 3 piece from Nashville, TN. Their sound is inspired by alternative, anthemic, post-punk, early new-wave artists who tend to define genres - only to defy them later.

Brothers Jonathan and Richard Lee Jackson began playing music together as kids. Their first experience with music was performing on stage with their father, Ricky Lee Jackson.

Originally from the Northwest, the brothers moved to Los Angeles in their early teenage years and began cutting their teeth on the Sunset Strip - playing iconic venues like The Whiskey A-Go-Go, The Roxy and The Viper Room before they were old enough to indulge in the free drinks offered to the other acts on the bill.

Jonathan is known as an enigmatic, introverted frontman. Sit with him for any length of time and you’ll realize he is a well-read, deep thinker. You’re more likely to catch references to Dostoyevsky, an obscure monk from Greece, or the Russian revolution of 1918 in his lyrics than the more superfluous themes in today's pop music.

“We’re more interested in the deeper themes in life, the bigger questions, the stuff beneath the surface,” Jonathan says quietly.

Prior to joining up with the Jackson Brothers in ENATION, bassist Jonathan Thatcher, was a member of the U.K. based rock band Delirious?, a band the brothers were into.

The band are currently supporting post-punk legends Echo & The Bunnymen on their UK and US Tour.
