Merseyside.

I even heard they go to matches sometimes, some anecdote about the lead singer sitting next to some guy talking about the band and how he likes them, and not recognizing the frontman.

Frontman is actually an avid LFC supporter, after a bit of research.

The interviews I heard early on in their career, they were pretty keen on distancing themselves from being Scouse. Anyway, an alright band, dont mind them.

Quality band...

Dreaming Of You
In The Morning
Something Inside Of Me

Who's Gonna Find Me

All top tunes.

Yeah, love them. I Remember When is one of my favorite all time tunes.

Love them, only just discovered this thread. One of the most underrated bands out there. So many of their songs I love, particularly the B sides, one of the few bands who actually do good b-sides as well as a-sides.

Nosferatu
Follow the Sun
Gina Jones
God Knows
Dressed Like a Cow
Sweet Sue
Darkness
When Good Times Go Bad
See Through Bergerac
The Depth of Her Smile
The Voice

Are all classy songs, as well as their well known stuff. Can't even pick my favourite album of theirs because I like them all.

Wirralites, though inspired by all things scouse. Good band like

Anyone listen to them here? I quite like them, and they're from Liverpool too.

i have worked with them and never encountered any band anywhere ever that can smoke that much hash and still function.

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #49 on:** September 3, 2011, 05:09:57 pm »

Any Coral fans out there, just been listenting on youtube this afternoon, there are some brand new tracks released by the band recently. Some little gems on it, Wrapped in Blue is brilliant.

Saw them live a few years ago and they were boss.

Saw them live last season , was over for the West Ham match and washed it down with Coral that night at the Uni. Great weekend in Liverpool

Wrapped in Blue is still my fav, but I will give this one another go, as a lot of their stuff grows on you.

The lead guitarist was awesome that gig in the uni, proper in the zone.

Zlen · « **Reply #57 on:** September 3, 2011, 07:21:20 pm »

'In the morning' is my favourite from the Coral.
Very good band.

The Coral have announced their long-awaited return with a new record Distance Inbetween due out on 4th March, 2016:

And a tour too:

-----

Can't wait for this...it's been far, far, too long since there's been new stuff from The Coral.

I think my favourite record of theirs remains The Invisible Invasion, but it's been such a long time that this could sound along the lines of what you'd expect or entirely different altogether...

I kind of lost track of The Coral after Roots and Echos, but very interested/excited to hear this news.

Was supposed to go see them in Belfast, back in 2003 but when we arrived, there was a sign up saying the gig was cancelled.

Really used to like The Thrills back then too, but they haven't released anything in years.

Deffo going to try and catch them on tour! Still listen to a lot of their music - haven't sat down and listened to an album but certainly a lot of singles end up on playlists!

Is the last album decent?

Yeah, I used to find The Thrills and The Coral went together really well.

The last Album "Butterfly House" was superb.

Looking forward to the new songs like.

Here's the Presale for whoever wants to go

Amsterdam Melkweg. Get in!

I paid to see them at Heineken Music Hall supporting Blur years ago and I don't like Blur.

Looking forward to this release - just over a week now.

If anybody comes across a spare for the Manchester show next month, would you kindly send me a PM please? Cheers

Fuck me, that's one of the worst album covers I've ever seen!

Enjoying revisiting some of their early stuff. Was reminded of seeing them on the NME tour in 2002. Opened for BRMC, Lostprophets and Andrew WK. Mad bill that, in many ways.
