Sack are releasing a new double A-side single featuring the tracks “Unmade Bed Of A Man” and “As One”, both of which are taken from the album “Wake Up People!” and have been remastered especially for this release by two-time Grammy winner Guy Massey (The Beatles Remasters, Richard Hawley, Spiritualized, Oasis).
In Ireland, Sack established themselves as a fixture on the local indie rock scene as early as the 1990s. Their debut album, You Are What You Eat, caught the attention of Morrissey, for example, and they went on to support him on his Oye Esteban tour.
The band’s sound is aptly described as ‘Frank Sinatra fronting the Pixies’ – biting, socially critical or emotionally profound lyrics, penned by frontman Martin McCann or guitarist John Brereton, meet a raw, melodic new wave and indie rock guitar sound.
After several successful albums, a serious road accident eventually forced them to take a break of almost twenty years. ‘Wake Up People!’ marks Sacks’ return to music and is regarded by some critics as their strongest work to date.
