Songs From Suburbia is the second album by Spring Heeled Jack. [4] [5] The album was recorded at The Hit Factory recording studio in New York City.
The band released a music video for the song "Jolene". [6] "Time" originally appeared on the band's demo cassette, Connecticut Ska. "Makisupa Policeman" is a cover of the Phish song. [7]
The Houston Press called the band "an insufferably sunny septet from Connecticut's bedroom-community wasteland," writing that "all of it goes down as easily as room-temperature Bud Light inhaled through an Olympic-sized beer bong." [3] The Omaha World-Herald deemed the album "good ska tunes—many with a rock edge." [8]
AllMusic wrote that "while Spring Heeled Jack earned themselves a niche in the East Coast ska scene with their debut album Static World View, the follow-up Songs From Suburbia is far superior." [2]
All songs by Spring Heeled Jack USA except "Pop Song (Green)" by Engle, Green and "Makisupa Policeman" by Trey Anastasio.
