James Paul Morrison also known as J.P. Morrison, James Morrison, JamesCore and James P. Morrison (born February 5, 1994) is a musician and songwriter from Marietta, Georgia. He is best known for founding and fronting the influential grindcore outfit Anxiety Hangover and his solo project JamesCore. He currently resides is Douglasville, a suburb of Atlanta, Georgia. Early life James Paul Morrison was born in Marietta, Georgia's Grady Hospital on February 5th, 1994 and is the second of two children born to Paul Charles "Chuck" Morrison and Julie Ann Morrison (née Epps). His mother hails from New York state and his father is a native of Georgia. He has one sibling, a sister named Catherine. Morrison was exposed to different types of music from an early age. In elementary school, he received a CD copy of Smells Like Children as a gift. This EP recorded by Marilyn Manson in 1995 is well known for its eclectic and sometimes bizarre variety of musical styles and sounds. Exposure to Manson's music was pivotal in the young Morrison's life and it ultimately inspired him to pursue an interest in recording experimental and noise music, particularly that of the grindcore genre. Anxiety Hangover Morrison had only occasionally toyed with the idea of forming a band until the afternoon of March 1st, 2008 when his sister brought home one of her boyfriends, another grindcore and experimental music enthusiast by the name of Sean Deegan. The two hit it off almost immediately and agreed the same day on collaborating with one another musically. The name "Anxiety Hangover", suggested by Morrison, was drawn from the title of a song by sludge metal band Eyehategod, the final track from their 1996 album Dopesick. The band did not make their first recordings until the afternoon of April 20th, 2008. It was on this day that the two sat down in front of a hand-held tape recorder with only an acoustic guitar and recorded Raped By Goofy, the first full length release by Anxiety Hangover. The band went on to make dozens of other recordings, including the well-received Brigette EP and, most recently, General Electric. The band is currently recording a new full-length album, Serenity Now, set to be self-released sometime in January, 2010.
