The Jackson Code | Artist

The Jackson Code was an Australian rock band, formed 1989 in Perth by Mark Snarski (vocals), Mark Dawson (drums), Jason Kain (guitar), Kenny Davis Junior (keyboards, accordion), Barry Turnbull (bass) and Mandy Pearson (vocals). The band formed when vocalist Mark Snarski left former band Chad's Tree. They released four excellent studio albums before breaking up in 1998. Their debut album Del Musical Del Mismo Nombre was recorded in 4 days and self produced, all on a budget of $1,000. Writing in Rolling Stone, reviewer Jon Casimir called the album "one of the minor masterpieces of 1989". The band took inspiration for its self-styled 'urban Romantic Cabaret' from writers such as Brecht and Weill, as well as Tom Waits. To-date, there is no entry on Apple Music or Spotify for this band. Considering the quality of their output they deserve much wider attention.
