American rock band Cracker, formed in 1990 by lead singer David Lowery and guitarist Johnny Hickman, originated from Redlands, California. After Lowery's former group Camper Van Beethoven disbanded, he and Hickman moved to Richmond, Virginia, and recorded a demo tape that included early versions of songs appearing on later albums. They eventually chose the name Cracker and teamed up with bassist Davey Faragher. By 1991, they had signed with Virgin Records and released their debut album Cracker in 1992, which featured the hit single "Teen Angst (What the World Needs Now)", reaching Number 1 on the U.S. Modern Rock chart. The band's follow-up, Kerosene Hat (1993), included hits like "Low" and "Get Off This", with the album selling nearly half a million copies. Cracker continued to release albums such as The Golden Age (1996) and Gentleman's Blues (1998). Throughout their career, they mixed influences from rock, punk, grunge, psychedelia, country, blues, and folk. Notable collaborations include contributions to the tribute album Encomium: A Tribute to Led Zeppelin in 1993 and the film soundtracks for Empire Records (1995) and Clueless (1995). The band has released nine studio albums and several compilations, including Garage D'Or (2000), Forever (2002), and Greenland (2006).
