Honeycrack

Honeycrack

Honeycrack were a British rock band formed and fronted by multi instrumentalist Willie Dowling (ex-The Grip) and including C.J from The Wildhearts following his departure from the latter band during Summer 1994.

Honeycrack released the album, "Prozaic" on the Epic Records label which depicted one band member's naked parent on the cover. It contained the singles "Go Away", "Sitting at Home", and "King of Misery". Both "Sitting at Home" (when re-issued) and "King of Misery", entered the Top 40 of the UK Singles Chart. The album enjoyed a similar fate in the UK Albums Chart.

After a hiatus, they moved to the Sony Records label, where they released the single "Anyway". This track would later be re-recorded by Dowling and became the theme tune for the Channel 4 show "Armstrong and Miller".

Honeycrack split in the late 1990s, with C.J going on to form the pop-punk outfit The Jellys then re-joining the Wildhearts in 2001. Dowling went on to form the SugarPlumFairies, whose debut album "Fruit Karma" contained re-worked and re-recorded versions of songs which appeared on the posthumous Honeycrack album, "PS The Unreleased Demos". Dowling also went on to form the pop-rock group Jackdaw4 as well writing songs for TV shows.
