Split Personalities (album)
''Split Personalities'' is the second album by 12 Rods, released in 1998. Critical reception ''The Washington Post'' wrote that "the clamorous yet tuneful 'Chromatically Declining Me' adds synthbeats and raga-rock riffs to the mix, while both 'I Am Faster' and 'Girl Sun' build noisy rockers atop blithe bossa novas." ''The Stuart News TCPalm is the digital news site for Treasure Coast Newspapers, the largest daily news operation on the Treasure Coast of southeastern Florida. The region encompasses three coastal counties: Martin County, St. Lucie County and Indian River Coun ...'' though that 12 Rods "are nothing less than an American hybrid of Radiohead's ethereal beauty mixed with head-banging metal riffing topped with a singer who sounds like Ozzy Osbourne whining." '' City Pages'' opined that the "police siren of a voice and the band's smart-rock overachieving begin to sound like great pop with repeated exposure." In 2005, '' City Pages'' included "Part of 2" on its list ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

History Born in the small, isolated town of Bison, South Dakota, Jackson started performing as "Kid Dakota and the Tumbleweeds" in 1998 while living in Providence, Rhode Island.

Allmusic
AllMusic (previously known as All Music Guide and AMG) is an American online music database. It catalogs more than three million album entries and 30 million tracks, as well as information on musicians and bands. Initiated in 1991, the database was first made available on the Internet in 1994. AllMusic is owned by RhythmOne. History AllMusic was launched as ''All Music Guide'' by Michael Erlewine, a "compulsive archivist, noted astrologer, Buddhist scholar and musician". He became interested in using computers for his astrological work in the mid-1970s and founded a software company, Matrix, in 1977. In the early 1990s, as CDs replaced LPs as the dominant format for recorded music, Erlewine purchased what he thought was a CD of early recordings by Little Richard. After buying it he discovered it was a "flaccid latter-day rehash". Frustrated with the labeling, he researched using metadata to create a music guide. In 1990, in Big Rapids, Michigan, he founded ''All Music Gui ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Separation Anxieties
''Separation Anxieties'' is a 2000 album by 12 Rods. It was the band's third full-length album. Recording ''Separation Anxieties'' was recorded on the island of Kauai with famed producer Todd Rundgren through the course of six weeks. However, the band thought negatively of his performance. According to vocalist and guitarist Ryan Olcott, "Todd was under-performing. He was the last person to show up at each session and the first one to leave. He didn't care. He was just there to press 'record', read magazines, and drink Foster's. It was disheartening." Ev Olcott remembered, "All he would do was press the 'record' button and go back to doing crossword puzzles. Some of those songs are good, but Todd Rundgren did the absolute worst job possible with that record." Adding to the sessions' troubles, drummer Christopher McGuire had left the band during the recording process after just three weeks, leaving the band to finish recording the album by themselves.
