You're not alone mate, I'm off to see em on Thursday at the 'Phil. (Thought I'd catch them on home ground - seems appropriate).
They seem to be one of those Marmite bands but I couldn't help but be blown away when they're debut album came out - it was everything you could hope for from a Scouse band - Beefheart, Love, Scott Walker, The Elevators, Syd Barrett, Bunnymen, Teardrops, Morricone and NO BEATLISMS! (And they were teenagers at the time). Well alright! They've been a bit up and down since but the new single is a well anticipated return to form and not a million miles from Notorious Byrd Brothers era Byrds with it's leslied vocals and phased drums.
Shame the Zutons stole their thunder but then again at least the Coral never forced Valerie on us!
Now Shack have all but ceased operations (collectively) its kinda up to The Coral to carry the mystical scouse flame!
