Add to My Profile | More Videos I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4Rich, Robert & Jon met in 1998 at college in Nottingham and started playing a mixture of Roberts own songs and Smashing Pumpkins covers.Then, under the guise of Soulcracker formed in 2002 they lived, recorded, wrote and rehearsed under the same roof in Nottingham, occasionally venturing out to play gigs, earn a quick buck and buy alcohol & pizza.2007 saw Jon leave the band and was replaced by Nick on bass bringing some new ideas and direction.Soulcracker play fuzzed up jangly rock songs with loud and quiet parts and have been compared to such bands as Smashing pumpkins,Placebo,Manic Street Preachers,The Cure and R.E.M.
