Slots

sean jackson has been described by alan mcgee as "the most underrated songwriter of his generation". in the 1990s sean led indie popsters 18 wheeler. 18 wheeler were introduced live on stage by tony blair, became big in japan and were supported by oasis (at that legendary gig where alan mcgee discovered the gallaghers and co). after the band split sean left scotland to teach in russia but now he's came out of the cold and is back, solo, with his first new album in 13 years. 'slots' features a mix of the type of harmony ladened indie guitar pop that he constructed so brilliantly with 18 wheeler, celtic folk pop, trance beats, sea shanties and sixties influenced garage punk. blessed with an advance copy of 'slots' sean's number one fan, teenage fanclub leader norman blake, has been religiously covering tracks from sean's 'slots' in his solo sets. with a promise of shows with the a fore mentioned teenage fanclub later in the year this could be the time for sean's music to be discovered by a whole new generation of fans.
