"Former frontman and songwriter for the 90's Oxford based acoustic rock outfit Settlement, John Jackson began his solo career in London in 2001 and has since become one of the UK's most intriguing songwriters?an iconoclast and left-field rocker with stingingly beautiful lyrics and instantly classic melodies.
The release of his 2002 debut album, Strange Attractors was accompanied by extensive shows in and around London as well as comparisons to Morrissey and Radiohead. The album was carried by Radio Waves and was a finalist in the 2003 Unisong Songwriting Competition.
Jackson's follow up album, Bad Things Happen All The Time was released in 2004 featuring complex, highly memorable melodies, spiked with poignant, often political lyrics that fit the tunes like a glove. Violins, trumpets, radio samples, acoustic guitar, noisy funky guitars are scattered throughout, with the timeless finale "Through The Glass" sounding like a folky Lennon crossed with the Pogues: soulful and searing at once.
