Their music combines elements of heavy metal, jazz, latin, rock, classical, reggae, funk, jazz fusion, and avant-garde music, among many others. The band is known to chop and change through several musical genres, often within the course of a single song.
Pumpkin Jacket formed in 2007, and headed by lead guitarist Christian Miller, bass player Mark Smith, pianist Tom Jurkiewicz and bit part vocalists Jon Lyall and Rupert Birkin, though most of the vocals have been recorded by Miller and Smith.
In Feb 2008 the band released their first album Master of Pumpkins, (a parody on the early Metalica release, Master of Puppets.
In April 2009 the band released their second emission, entitled The Difficult Second Album, both albums were recorded at Pumpkin Towers, London and have been released on the Relaxo Records lable.
Pumpkin Jacket claim to have been influenced by a variety of different artists in many different spheres of music, including Mr. Bungle, Slayer, Iron Maiden, Miles Davis, Allan Holdsworth, Bill Evans, Bob Marley, Primus, Frank Zappa, Theolonious Monk, Zu, Battles, the music of Bill Bailey, The Mighty Boosh and Vic and Bob's Mulligan and O'Hare to name a few.
Their best known songs are "Banks", which satirizes the UK banking system and the current economic situation, the bossa-nova styled, guitar and bass duo "Magic Trousers". As well as writing original material Pumpkin Jacket have also performed covers of Miles Davis' "So What", and Bill Evans' "Nardis", as well as covers of 80s childrens TV programs "Rainbow" and "Grange Hill". All their covers so far have been radically different from the original recordings.

Hi Pumpkin Jacket! I have a story about this song. Are you ready? Okay!!
When I was 10 years old (six years ago), I discovered this song for the first time. I don't know why, I don't know how. It was one of my favorite songs ever. But I forgot about it for a long time.
Then today I was looking through the email account I had as a kid and I found a certain email that I sent to one of my school friends. It was labeled, "THIS SONG IS REALLY WEIRD BUT SO COOL!" And here is what it said:
"I love this song and it's creeping me out because it's not even like a song! (It's not wrong or anything. Just super catchy!)
It was stuck in my head for a few days now. It is one of my fave songs and u know what? THE SONG WAS SO CATCHY IT KEPT ME OCCUPIED WITH THE SONG FOR 30 MINUTES!
It's called Magic Trousers by "pumpkin jacket".

Cool huh!"
And that was all I wrote. And the friend never emailed me back.
It's funny because my taste in music hasn't changed after eight years. I STILL FREAKING LOVE THIS SONG! AND I'M GETTING SO NOSTALGIC FROM THIS!!
