JamisonParker - "Best Mistake" (2005)

JamisonParker was a rock/emo duo who released an EP and one full length album in their short time together. Their name, not to be confused with Jameson Parker, the actor from the 80s TV show Simon & Simon, comes from their combination of their first names. Jamison Covington and Parker Case kind of sound like the names of investment bankers, however they made some pretty good rock music. Their debut EP Notes & Photographs was released in 2003. The fives songs didn’t stand out too much from the rest of the indie rock that was coming out then, but they did show promise. Their only album Sleepwalker came out in summer 2005. Ken Andrews produced the record and also played bass, keys and sang backing vocals. The album has some pretty catchy songs but overall they kind of bleed together as there’s not much difference from track to track. Today’s song was the album’s only single and easily the best track. The chorus is especially catchy and will stick in your head for sure. Since parting ways, the two musicians have undertaken other endeavors. Covington started a new band called E for Explosion and they just released an EP called Paper Flowers. Case has started a new project called I and the Universe and is currently playing keyboards for Say Anything.
