I think the world is getting out of balance recently.

I'm using a 7-string guitar from this song and thought I needed to reconstruct the sound.
difficult...

Light In Chaos

Guitar, Bass, Drum Programming, Synth Programming, Mixing and Mastering.

Tracks uploaded here are mostly unfinished since I can't do vocals/lyrics.  So if there are any vocalists/songwriters out there that want to work on anything let me know.  I would also be interested in joining/forming a band, if anyone needs a guitarist that does whatever it is that I do.

everything is a work in progress

***AI is FIRM NO - ALL MUSIC WRITTEN, ARRANGED AND PERFORMED BY ©Crackerjack**

Hi, I am Jon, my music name is ©Crackerjack. Having re-read my own bio, which I haven’t done for some time, I realised how self-important it sounded!! I wish I was  a dynamic lead, rhythm, and bass guitarist whose sound is deeply rooted in blues-infused hard rock. 

The latter of this sentence is at least true in terms of styles – although I do also love metal and power sludge (Pantera), some classical, blues, Jazz/funk, Gangsta Rap.  I also do play lead, rhythm and bass, write, arrange and perform all the music and vocals. 

The drums are programmed on my Boss BR80 Micro Digital recorder; however I am planning on teaching myself how to play these. I also mix down and produce all my music.

My music era growing up was late 80s- mid/late 90’s.  Huge influences for me were early GNR, especially Slash, who is the reason I fell in love with the Les Paul and playing lead; Chris Cornell, Soundgarden, Alice In Chains, Black Crows, ACDC, STP, Faith No More, Gary Moore, ZZ Top – the list goes on, and all over the place!

Whilst I am a hard rock guy, I do venture into more metal as some of my tracks like The Gringo, Corrupt, Insidious, The Nomad may showcase. I also have 3 or so songs written which will be folk/country, my softer side, but need to buy a new acoustic before I record these.

I have released probably 60 singles and 5 track EP called Life Stories, which is what it says on the tin. 

The songs cover addiction - Husk' to ballads  'A Love Untold’ and a cheeky little interlude of the Sabbath variety with my good mate Somewhere 77’ supplying the bongo beat.

Happy to colab where time allows in between being a dad, work, dad, work, dad!!!

"DIY" rock artist from São Paulo-Brazil. 
Addressing tough and thoughtful subjects, "The Sixth Stone" music sounds like Grunge, Indie, Metal and Hard Rock, mixed all together in a Classic Rock vibe... or something like that. :)

Hello everyone. I'm glad you're interested in my music. I'm a guitarist. I used to be in a band, but that ended in failure, and now I write songs and play guitar for my own pleasure. The songs are born in my little room. After years of not playing guitar since I stopped playing in a band, I am now able to play here again and feel the joy of playing guitar and touching music again. That's why it's so wonderful for me to interact with the inhabitants of this Soundcloud. By the way, I'm very talkative, so I'm always looking for pen pals. I'm not particular about the theme, so I'd be happy if everyone could feel free to send me a direct message. I really enjoy hearing other people's ideas and interacting with people from different countries.

I am a very unstable person, but I manage to spend every day. I have a child, a wife, and I ride the train to work in tired clothes every day, but here at SoundCloud, I can be myself. Unlike other social networking sites, I believe that this is not a wild electronic world.

Listen and enjoy

There was a great underground music scene during the ‘90s in Youngstown, OH. Being only 20 minutes or so from my hometown of New Castle, PA, I was fortunate enough to get to hear a lot of those great bands. I felt even luckier when I got to play a few shows there during it’s heyday too. 

Since the turn of the century, with many musicians from that era moving on to new aspects of life, I’ve had trouble keeping a band together. I still had way too much I needed to get out though. So I started recording on my own under the names "Significant Nothing" and "Unending Bane".

I also recorded an all instrumental project under the name "Plunder Swarm" which Vibrio Cholerae Records printed & released in 2023 and distributed by Depressive Illusions Records. https://depressiveillusions.com/items/cd-r/punk-hardcore-rac-oi-other/plunder-swarm-ones-hour
Then, in 2024, Vibrio Cholerae Records printed & released my second "Plunder Swarm" CD, once again distributed by Depressive Illusions Records.

In 2025, Vibrio Cholerae Records also printed & released my other band "Raiding Horde". Of course, this  CD was distributed by Depressive Illusions Records too.

First off, I would like to thank you for taking the time to stop by and listen to my music. I’m very open to comments and any suggestions you may have. Just knowing you took time to listen to my music makes it all worth it to me. Feel free to like and repost if you find anything you like.

I am just a small-town guitarist with a great love for music of the 70’s 80’s and 00’s.
