The band known as Jack Anthony was showered with gifts in the form of musical instruments courtesy of the failed MTV reality pilot "Garage Band Makeover" in February of 2006, most likely to compensate them for the inevidable embarrassment that the show would bring to them! At least, that is one of the doctrines the band chooses to believe to console them and help them come to terms with the loss of the nationwide exposure they were robbed of!
Okay enough ranting. Basically, MTV didn't pay for their next record like they said they would. In fact they fell off the face of the Earth! So the band did what they had to do, and sold a bunch of stuff and produced it themselves.
The result is Spirits and the Scattered Screen. A bit edgier and more aggressive than previous Jack Anthony releases. But the original formula and melodic awareness is definitely still very much in the picture.
In explanation of the album's title, the band has stated something to the effect of "Spirits = booze, Scattered Screen = us not being on tv". Apparently the two go hand in hand.

A classic album for those into Pop Punk with a little bit of magic
author: Def Man
This CD is 13 tracks of pop punk perfection. Their sound is fresh and buzzy. It reminds you of bands like Green Day and Sublime, and it will make you want to keep listening and bobbing your head. With help from the melodic choruses that you can sing along to by the third time around (yes, they're that catchy) Jack carries you through a world of things he and the band have experienced since their debut, "Disaster" including their "Garage Band Makeover" case (you can hear a clip from it at the beginning of Cloudy Daze). Also, the lyrics in the songs show true talent by themselves, which feature creativity and using unique comparisons. All the while, it is one magical journey listening to this catchy pop punk album that is sure to keep you dancing long after it is over.
