The Jack Cades formed in 2017 when their first mini LP was recorded at North Down Sound in Kent, UK. At this time there was no band name, no official members and no real thought about carrying the group on it was just two people (Mike & Elsa) wanting to record a few songs they had written. They asked Mole (State Records, The Embrooks) to join them on drums and John Gibbs (The Masonics, Wildebeests) to join them on bass for the session. Their sound is raw, influenced by rhythm n' blues and 60s garage punk. After hearing the results and generally having fun doing it they decided to carry on as a band this required a full time bass player at which point they brought in Alexandra Cools (Speedball Jr.) and The Jack Cades were born.

Then came the release of their first single on Dangerhouse Skylab (Lyon, France): 'Run Paulie Run' b/w 'And Pretend', also recorded at North Down Sound. This single was a success and marked the beginning of the shaping of their new sound.

The band has always been hugely influenced by the sounds of the 60s, mainly US garage and UK beat bands from that time, but they are also influenced by a wide range of bands from different eras, some more modern, such as The Stone Roses for example. When writing songs their aim is to not just replicate what has already been done, but take their influences and turn it into their own sound.

In April 2019, they decided to go record the 11 songs that would form their new album 'Perfect View' with Liam Watson at Toe Rag Records in London. This turned out to be a great decision, as Liam completely understood what they were trying to achieve. The result is powerful, listen, and you will see!
