Crackerbox Palace

A five-piece Rock ‘n’ Roll band formed in South Yorkshire in 2023, combining influences that stretch from 60s classics such as The Beatles and Johnny Cash right through to modern indie such as Doves, Foals, Arcade Fire and Father John Misty. Members of the band have toured a range of venues and festivals across Europe over a number of years in other musical ventures but have formed a new project with fresh tunes that are waiting for fresh ears, all born from rediscovering freedom in the studio. You can hear that in the music, it’s eclectic, it’s heartfelt and sometimes it’s out of the ordinary but it’s all under one big carnival-esque roof at the Crackerbox Palace.
