This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Jackson United''' is an American [[punk rock]] band, formed by singer and lead guitarist [[Chris Shiflett]] in 2003. Shiflett recruited his older brother [[Scott Shiflett]] (bass) and [[Pete Parada]] (drums) to complete the band. A debut eponymous EP was recorded and released in 2003. Shortly after this release Parada left the band. He was replaced by Cary Lascala, and the group was then further expanded with the addition of a rhythm guitarist, Doug Sangalang.

[[Scott Shiflett]] left the band in 2004, replaced by Omen Starr. The band released its first full-length album, [[Western Ballads]] in 2004. After touring, Lascala and Starr departed, and Scott then returned to band in 2005. 2008 saw the release of their second full-length album, [[Harmony And Dissidence]]. As the band was without a drummer at the time, Foo Fighters bandmate [[Dave Grohl]] offered Chris his services, along with bandmate [[Taylor Hawkins]].<ref name=Bomber>Bomber [http://www.bombshellzine.com/newspage/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=3089 "Online Zine"] bombshellzine.com. Retrieved on January 17, 2009.</ref> When touring for the album Scott was busy with a reuniting Face To Face, so Charlie Ellis was recruited to play bass, and [[Mighty Mighty Bosstones]] member [[Joe Sirois]] took over on drums.

==Formation and debut EP (2002-3)==
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.<ref>Fernandez, George [http://www.thrashhits.com/2008/11/interview-jackson-uniteds-chris-shiflett "interview"] thrashhits.com. Retrieved on January 17, 2009.</ref> The band was originally just called 'Jackson', taken from Chris' long running pseudonym, Jake Jackson. Shiflett recruited his older brother [[Scott Shiflett]] (bass) and [[Pete Parada]] (drums) to complete the band. Both were members of punk rock band [[Face to Face (punk band)|Face To Face]] at the time. 

Shiflett first formed the band during a halt at the recording of the Foo Fighters' ''[[One by One (Foo Fighters album)|One by One]]'',<ref>Steininger, Alex. [http://www.inmusicwetrust.com/articles/61h03.html Foo Fighters' Guitarist Chris Shiflett Talks About His Band, Jackson] ''In Music We Trust''</ref> Their eponymous debut EP was released on 20 October 2003, featuring five tracks recorded by the trio in early 2003.

==Name and line up changes==
Shortly after the debut EP release Parada left the band due to his full-time commitment as the then-drummer of [[Saves The Day]]. Replacing him was Cary LaScala who had enjoyed a brief stint as a member of [[Communiqué (band)|Communiqué]]. The group was then further expanded with the addition of a second guitarist, Doug Sangalang.

In 2004 the band decided to change their name due to the difficulty of obtaining any form of legal protection over simply 'Jackson'. It was considered to be too common a word to be granted copyright. They therefore elected to simply add 'United' to the name, and have since been known as Jackson United. Shortly after this Scott announced his departure from the band, citing a desire to spend more time at home. He was replaced by Top Brown's Omen Starr.

==Western Ballads and further lineup changes (2004)==
With the new line-up of Shiflett, Lascala, Sangalang and Starr in place the band toured around the world, including the UK and Australia. On 11 October 2004 their debut full-length album, ''Western Ballads'' was released. 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. As a result, Lascala and Starr decided to leave the band to pursue other ventures. Scott Shiflett returned to bass duties, but a drummer was not recruited at this time.

==''Harmony and Dissidence'' (2007-2008)==
In January and February 2007, Shiflett left many updates on the band's official postboard regarding their current recording sessions. Still without a full-time drummer, [[Foo Fighters]] bandmates [[Dave Grohl]] and [[Taylor Hawkins]] were revealed to be sharing the drumming work. "Well it was just a lucky turn of events where we tried to start tracking drums with this other guy and it didn’t really work. Dave dropped by the studio one day and I told him what was going on and he offered up his services... he also offered up Taylor’s services", Shiflett told an online fanzine.<ref name=Bomber/> As well as Grohl and Hawkins, the album also featured touring Foo Fighters members Rami Jaffee (keyboards) and Drew Hester (percussion).

''[[Harmony and Dissidence]]'' was released in 2008, firstly as an online digital download through the [[iTunes]] service on April 8, followed by a physical CD release in Japan, Australia, United States and United Kingdom. ''Help Save The Youth Of America'' (A [[Billy Bragg]] cover), Poison In The Blood and Loose Ends (a more up-tempo version of a song previously released on the debut EP) were featured as bonus tracks on some releases.

When the band embarked on touring for the album, Scott was busy with a reforming [[Face to Face (punk band)|Face To Face]], and so Charlie Ellis was recruited as bass player. Joe Sirois, of [[Mighty Mighty Bosstones]] fame, was recruited as the official drummer for the band.
