"smackwater jack are an english r.e.m. with a sense of humour instead of a tonne of angst"

in an age of inane fast-food music, smackwater jack create songs that grow and last in the memory rather
than becoming tired and annoying after a couple of listens. A five-piece band based in the Cheshire/
staffordshire area, the band are influenced by artists such as elliot smith, the beatles, aimee mann and other
great songwriters from every decade and have drawn comparisons to ooberman, easyworld, the beatles, the
bluetones and the housemartins.
