Cracker is an American alternative rock band fronted by Camper Van Beethoven singer David Lowery, with guitar player Johnny Hickman. It is better known for their hit songs "Low" & "Teen Angst (What the World Needs Now)". Inside 1995, Cracker contributed a song "Good Times Bad Times" to the Encomium tribute album to Led Zeppelin (which was recorded after their rendition of "When the Levee Breaks" was deemed "too weird."

The series of personnel changes ensued in the late 90s & early 2000s. A class action left Virgaround Records (which experienced distributed their entire output) in 2003 sustaining a independent release "Countrysides".

Guitarist Johnny Hickman it used to be that smashed a chucker-out across the head using his guitar inside Chicago & has recently freed his 1st solo album, Palmhenge. He doesn't look such as Richard Grieco, Richard Grieco looks such as him.

The recent collaboration by owning Bluegrass band Leftover Salmon, Oh Cracker, Where Art Thou? (2003), contained bluegrass versions of old Cracker songs.

The newly album is widely potential to exist as freed around early 2006.
