    Cracker, the group that veritably introduced brash irreverence and irony into alt-rock, are back and in top form on their 429 Records debut, Sunrise In The Land Of Milk And Honey. This rich new trove of sharp-witted songs showcases a bristling, late 70’s – early 80’s power pop punk aesthetic which hits as hard as it did at the band’s formation 17 years ago. Eight albums (one platinum and three gold) and a barrel full of anthemic hit songs later, Cracker endures, using their ability to weave decades of influences into an album that is seamlessly riveting.

    This past year marked not only the 25th anniversary of the influential rock band Camper Van Beethoven, but also, in many ways, indie music itself - a genre that this Santa Cruz-based band unwittingly (or perhaps wittingly) helped spearhead in the early '80s long before the terms alternative or indie became common hyphen fodder for the word 'rock.'
