Built Like Alaska

Band, US
Rock

Built Like Alaska is an indie rock band from Oakdale, California, USA. Forming shortly Jackson's return to Oakdale from Humboldt State University in 1996, the band began playing local dives, dumps and police bars as a three-piece outfit. Signing with Grandaddy's Sweat of the Alps label, they released their début full-length, Hopalong, in 2003. They attracted the attention of a larger indie label, Future Farmer, who released album number two, Autumnland, and re-released Hopalong, both in 2005. Also in 2005, the band provided the score for Scott Coffey's film Ellie Parker and spent a good deal of the summer touring the U.S. Built Like Alaska has recently completed work on their currently untitled third album, recorded by the band in Oakdale and mixed by Lucky Lew at Wave Parade in Modesto.
