Cracker is an American rock band formed in 1990 by lead singer David Lowery and guitarist Johnny Hickman. The band’s first album, “Cracker,” was released in 1992 on Virgin Records. This debut included the single “Teen Angst (What the World Needs Now),” which reached No. 1 on the U.S. Modern Rock chart. The band continued their success with the 1993 album, “Kerosene Hat,” featuring hit songs “Low,” “Get Off This,” and “Euro-Trash Girl.” “Kerosene Hat” sold nearly half a million copies in its release year and eventually approached platinum status. Cracker’s music is characterized by a mix of rock, punk, grunge, psychedelia, country, blues, and folk.
Following their initial successes, Cracker released “The Golden Age” in 1996, with “I Hate My Generation” as the lead single. Although critics received the album well, sales were moderate as the music scene began to shift away from guitar-driven alternative rock. The band continued to record and tour, releasing “Gentleman’s Blues” in 1998, which helped solidify a dedicated fan base known as “Crumbs” in both the United States and Europe. In the early 2000s, Cracker released the compilation “Garage D’Or” in 2000, followed by the studio album “Forever” in 2002.
Cracker transitioned to independent releases with “Countrysides” in 2003, an album consisting mainly of country and western covers. The band also engaged in collaborative projects, such as “Oh Cracker, Where Art Thou?” (2003) with the bluegrass band Leftover Salmon. They established an annual “Campout” festival in Pioneertown, California, which expanded to an East Coast counterpart in Virginia in 2011. Lowery and Hickman continued to release new music, including the studio album “Greenland” in 2006 and “Sunrise in the Land of Milk and Honey” in 2009, which charted on the Billboard 200. In 2014, they released the double album “Berkeley to Bakersfield,”.
