Tim Smith's Spratleys (formerly Spratleys Japs)[b] are an English psychedelic rock band originally formed by Cardiacs leader Tim Smith and Joanne Spratley in 1998.[12] The band changed their name to Tim Smith's Spratleys Rats in 2021 to distance themselves from the negative connotations of the derogatory term Jap.[11] As of 2024, the band's name is simply Tim Smith's Spratleys.[13][14][15][16]
