Sheffield based band creating music combining neo-soul and soft rock.

Born in the early mid 90's...Sad Jack took the local rock circuit by storm, combining the songwriting talents of Andrew Horth (And his cool virtuoso guitar playing), unique powerful vocals of Nick Dodd, thumping (and some how laid back at the same time) bass of Neal Newbrook and solid drum backline of Nick Haynes.

Their explosive live performances often fuelled by Budweiser saw them rock venues such as JB's in Dudley (Host to many household names) , and a host of local pubs and clubs in the Shropshire and West Midlands area. Sad Jack were a band just waiting to happen, three succesful studio demo recordings....a live recording used for demo purposes...and a loyal following...then it was over...

...now - in the summer of 2011, after over 10 years...Andrew, Neal and Nick have reunited for the Bridgnorth Music Festival for an acoustic gig.

Who knows what will happen next...one thing is for sure, Sad Jack are back...Sad Jack will rock you...

HorthWorld is the alter ego of singer / songwriter Andrew Horth from Melbourne, Derbyshire, England. 

HorthWorld burst on to the music scene in August 2024 with power pop / indie banger Watercooler Girl recorded with Oasis sound engineer Nick Brine and produced by Kitten Pyramid's Scott Milligan.

This was followed up by old-school Christmas anthem Merry Christmas (Make Amends) and a Valentine's Day AA-side release featuring epic love songs Greatest and Burn Out which were all produced by Natt Webb at RatCat Studios and featured on BBC Introducing.
Upcoming single Fairytale is a pop-rock classic in the making telling the tale of a young man who lost touch with the girl of his dreams only to be reacquainted with her later in life... could there be a second chance for a Fairytale ending?

Horth draws from influences across genres to craft songs with the common denominator of earworm melodies paired with honest, sometimes humorous and often heart on the sleeve lyrics.

Welcome to the Indie-Alt-Power-Pop-Punk-Shoegaze-Synth-Folk-Rock powered adventure that is HorthWorld.
